I have the heated/ventilated seat option in my 2018 S5 SB and find it quite comfortable. You do, however, slide around more than you do in the sport seat.
It and a heated steering wheel is a must option living here on Long Island.

Exactly — I place a small amount of the lotion into the cloth, rub it in to the cloth a little and then apply the cloth to the leather. Key here is small amount into the cloth.
My wife's RDX interior is tan leather and when it gets detailed I actually use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser — WITH VERY LIGHT PRESSURE — to get the stains from blue jeans or other sources. Then I apply a very small amount of leather conditioner / cleaner to a cloth and treat the leather. Using the Magic Eraser correctly is a ga e changer on the RDX tan leather.

I found this video awhile back and found it the best way for me to clean perforated leather. Basically, the idea is to use a soft brush to get in the holes and a shop vac to get all the leftover solution out. I don't do this every time as it takes a lot longer than a wipe down with a microfiber cloth but every couple months i'll go ahead and use the brush. Hope it helps!

I'm here in Texas and I wanted the cooled seats but wanted red leather even more. However that trading that in and the seat choices are very limited for the RS5. I don't get red but I also don't get cooled seats. Oh well. The price you pay for 90 more ponies

I have the sport seats, and the bottom bolsters dig into my fat thighs unless I pull my knees nearly together It gets quite painful after an hour on the road. I had the same issue on my A3, and fixed by adding a 1/2" spacer between the driver's seat cushion an the steel pan. Unfortunately, the S5 seat construction doesn't allow this.
I'd swap for standard seats if I could find a set.. (I suppose it might require some coding changes though.)
(Trying to get slimmer, but it's not working well.)

I am 6’4” and bought my A4 with what is called “comfort sport ventilated seats” in Canada. The width of the bolsters are not adjustable. They were the most uncomfortable seats ever after a one hour drive. I had to return the car and exchange it for a car with regular seats! Very costly and stressful experience!

I live in Texas and picked up an A5 Saturday. I tried the s5 and after 10 min in the car I was reaching for the non existent cooled seats button. I went down to the A because the seats were so much more comfortable for me and I could not notice enough of a power difference to justify the S. The regular seats are very sporty with lots of side bolstering. I’m 5’ 11 215lbs.
