Comfort of S6 Sports Seats
Hi everyone. Looking into purchasing a new 2018 S6. Only a few are still remaining, and all the ones I’ve seen have the S6 sports seats.
I am a little nervous as I have a history of back problems. Low back pain and sciatica. Would you recommend these seats for someone like me?
6’4” 230 lbs.

The massage function of the comfort seats makes a big difference for long drives. Especially if you use the heat and massage simultaneously. There are 5 different types of massage and the lumbar program is great for lower back issues.

Thanks. I figured as much. I think I am just overthinking it.

I'm same weight and height as you.. comfort is nice but they look horrible in comparison. I had lower back surgery on my S1, L5, L4 last year, sciatica was unbearable in the car in any shape or fashion.. I've not had any issues since though and have gone on multiple 5-6hr road trips with no issue with my sport seats

I drove the S7 today and those seats seemed very low and slightly uncomfortable. The S8 seats were nicer but lacked the support.

Great. Thanks for the tip. Did you have the car before your surgery? Wondering if it’s the surgery or the car :-). I will take your medical advice too :-)

I'm 6'4" and around 240 and find the sport seats very comfortable. Over the summer we took a road trip from Seattle to Missoula, MT to see Pearl Jam and the seats were great.
Side Note: I-90 really needs to go back to an environmental fee for excessive speed in Montana.

I may be jaded as my previous Weekend car was a GTR, which is brutal in comparison. I find the S6 to be much more comfortable than my older B8 S4 as well.
