New to this forum and the Audi family. Just switched from Mercedes this week and loving my new A3. However, I have noticed the leather on the seats is starting to sag/look wavy. Since I'm new to the brand, I wanted to reach out to get feedback. Is this typical or something I should point out to the dealership. I've only had the car for two days.

sadly i think this is normal. do you have the nappa leather or standard sports seats ?

I dont think it is normal. Can u post some pix? I own my S3 6 months now and the seats are flawless. Small little creases here and there are perfectly normal but if the leather gets saggy during first three days it is absolutely not normal. My previous A6 got saggy (prestige with nappa leather) in a couple years and Audi got it repaired.

Please post some pictures.

Point it out to the dealer. There are a couple threads about the same thing in the A6/A7 C7 section. Some people had the seats replaced.

"Standard sorts seats" - this would imply an S3 - no? The OP said he has an A3. Unless it has the Sport Package (which the OP did not say he had) I don't think this vehicle has sports seats.

Here's an image of the front seat and the rear seat. Does this look normal for a few days?

I have had 6 Audi's, and many other near luxury cars with leather seats. This is very typical. Look at leather seats in used cars, you can see how they stretch. They will wear well, but sagging is sadly part of the ownership with leather.

Perhaps the Audi Milano leather (which is a higher grade and softer) would do this less.

Mine is doing this too, but I'm at 23k miles. I'm saddened, but not much we can do, I'm afraid

My second S3 and 4 Q7s, they all do this at first, somehow it evens out eventually.

If it bothers you, leather moisturizer and UV protection rubbed in it will even it out faster
