Stopped by the dealer today...
So, I went to the dealer today to get a battery for the remote key and an issue with the trunk cover, so I had to wait around a few minutes - which was fine by me. 2 observations.
1. Manhattan Grey ( seen on the 2018 Allroad) is a beautiful color, deep and rich, without the high maintenance of black.
2. I would never, ever get standard, non-sport seats in any Audi. The side bolsters and thigh extensions on the sport seats are way too important for me to be comfortable sitting on anything else.

I’ve got to agree on the a Manhattan Grey. I love it on my car and I’m glad I chose it. I think it complements the lowered sports suspension well and the standard five spoke 18 inch wheels look like they are custom painted to go with the color. The sport package seats are great too. I test drove B9 with the standard seats and they were fine, but the sport seats had more of a “one with the car” feeling for me. IMO, the $750 sport package is one of the B9’s best value options.

I’ve got monsoon grey and I’ve only seen another one once around here. I had Q5 over the weekend as a loaner and I found the non-sport seats really uncomfortable.

I know I sound like a broken record, but I briefly sat in 3 non sport seats yesterday Q5, A4 and A4 Allroad and found them the same way - uncomfortable and non-supportive. Now, I do understand that seating is a personal thing and there is no right or wrong, but I would recommend that anyone considering aa new/used car whether buying or leasing spend some time sitting/driving in both types of seats before making a decision.

How much did that battery cost ya for your key fob? $100 😝Anyways I have Manhattan Grey and it’s an absolute beautiful color, when clean. Doesn’t get as noticeably dirty as all black would but I love the color. My last A4 was Monsoon Grey and Manhattan Grey for me is a far more beautiful color.
