I test drove an S4 earlier today for the first time on a curvy road and have got to wonder - how do you stay in your seat?

I currently own a TT, and its seats are pretty heavily side bolstered so when you take a curve, you stay planted.

However, when I took the S4 around the same curves, the car did fine but I found myself holding onto the steering wheel as I went sliding off one side of the seat or the other past the S4's bolsters.

It seems like the car would be <b>much</b> better with Recaros, but just tossing out a pair of leather 10-way power seats isn't cheap. ;-)

How does the Alacantara feel? like swede?
Is it prone to wear quicker and tear than the leather? and does it get dirty quicker and harder to clean?

Thanks

Everyone who's been in my car so far thinks it IS suede. I haven't had it long enough for wear/dirt

I drove my old Eclipse the other day and I have to say that those seats are huggalistic compared to the Audi's.

Very funny ;-) Just be careful not to drop that Danish on the Swede seat ;-)
