Wife is finally ready to buy an A3, but it appears they only sell them with leather seats here. Does anyone know if you can special order A3's or A4's with cloth seats?

Thx!

I just got an 07 and it has cloth seats. Honestly though why would you choose cloth over leather?

Oddly, for 2010 models they don't give a cloth seat option - at least not on their web site. Wife doesn't want leather due to personal beliefs.

There's always the option of trading seats with someone who wants leather. Given the fact tht the older seats would fit the same as the new.

I got a 2008 with cloth seats. Are you talking about a dealership website or Audi's website.

i would have gotten leather but all the leather options came with sunroof and I did not want a sunroof, so I got an A3 with cloth, and no sunroof.

I had a 2006 A3 with cloth, lease was up in 2009, got a 2009, and no cloth seats anymore since 2009. No options anymore, just stupid packages where if all you want is nav, you have to get open sky as well and something else. My 2006 A# was as stripped as could be, automatic, 2.0t 2 whell drive. cloth seats, cheapest radio and so on......went for like 25k. The 09 is a premium they call it, manual tranny, leather seats, open sky, and it was the most stripped unit on the lot and is a tad over 30k when all is said and done. I actually like cloth seats, whay does everyone think leather is so nice. It's freezing in the winter, hot in the summer and stains like no tomorrow. At least you can clean cloth alot easier and cheaper, and I think it feels better. I don't believe leather is worth the 1500 to 2k for the supposed upgrade. Especially since it has to be packaged and jammed down your throat with something else you do not necessarily want.

Warmer in winter, cooler in summer, side bolsters don't crack, wears better, looks nicer if designed correctly, less expensive and who would want dead cow seats anyway?

Outside of USA, cloth can be had on almost any A3 trim line. I wanted an A3 but went for W MK5 GTI for the cloth seats. I had two A4s with "leatherette" and both had seat heaters. Still you have to sit on COLD seats in the AM to start up !!
I LOVE my GTI seats for looks, comfort, holding in corners.....
