Default Durability of magma red leather interior?

Anyone have the magma red interior? What's it look like after 15k-20k-30k-etc. miles?

I'd wager to say like every Audi interior after the equivalent amount of miles.

I've cleaned mine a few times but it still looks almost new. Leather has a couple of creases beginning to form on the driver's seat and that's about it.

I kept my previous S4 over 53K miles -- had it cleaned once (along with a full detail). Looked new when I trade it in. My wife had it in her SQ5, 93K miles (had it cleaned twice). Also looked new when traded in. My current S4 has 17K miles -- no need to clean it yet.

I'm at 10k miles and regularly clean with meguiar's gold class leather cleaner (once a week). Seats still look new although creases have formed in both the driver's and passengers seat.

I was a little tongue-in-cheek with my response, but Audi leather is known for holding-up extremely well over time.
There's no reason to think the Diamond Stitched seats in the S4 wouldn't perform every bit as well as the regular leather seats in all of the other cars.

In fact, with the alternate stitching and smaller individual seating surfaces (vs. whole pieces of leather with no breaks in the surface area) I'd wager to say, these seats will hold up longer, and look better than the standard seats.

15k on mine, and besides a few normal creases, the interior looks brand new. No wear, no tear.

same here, just creases on the side bolsters (mainly on drivers side since it's hard not to hit them with the steering wheel in the way). My B7 with nappa leather held up great for it's 10 year age, although I always park my car in a garage at home and in a parking garage at work.

I love the Magma Red, I don't think there is a better interior color than that on the market....
