Anyone go ventilated seats in their new S4
 

I am one decision away from placing my order for my S4. Going mythos black, with sport package, navigation package, and can't decide if I want the ventilated seats. I live in Arizona, so it gets pretty hot, but I love the look of the nappa sports seats. Also, I want the aluminum inlays for the interior. If I end up opting for regular nappa leather seats, then there is a model on a nearby lot that I could go with rather than ordering. It has the carbon fiber inlays, but I guess I would have to get over that if I went that route. Want opinions if anyone went with the ventilated seats. Thanks

The car I ordered was damaged in shipping, so my dealer found one in Southern California that had all the options I wanted, but also the warm weather package which I didn't want. Instead of waiting who knows how long for another car I decided to accept that car.

The seats are OK, I don't have a problem with them, but no massage feature and the ventilation is a subtle effect. Helps some on a hot day, but not dramatic. The seat fans are pretty noisy too. I do like the adjustable headrests.

Thanks for the response. I was unaware that there was no massage feature in the ventilated seats

So was I! Bummer when I found out ;)

I too was stuck on that very decision (hot in Alabama, too). Ultimately, I had always pined for the diamond stitched seats ever since I saw them on an S6 about 5 years ago, so that is what I went with. I have not regretted that choice for one second.

I ordered mine with the ventilated seats because I like the separate head rests, the butt massage is subtle at best, and predominantly they hurt my shoulders far less than the standard seats. I don't like that I can get them only in black, tho - wanted the A4 light grey.

So I've been going back and forth on this one and right now I'm going with the vented seats. I didn't know the fans were noisy...might look into that before I make a final decision.

The diamond is nice but to get it to where I want it, it's another $1400 to get the Nappa vs just the $900 for the vented...but again if those vents are loud it might affect my decision.

They're very quiet if you keep it off - like the standard seats ;)

lol nice.

The disappointment for me on the seats was that they pull air in instead of pushing out cold (or hot) air out. That's kind of "meh." functionally speaking.
