Ordered!
2009 TTS
Brilliant Black
prestige pkg
Enhanced leather
I was torn between getting brilliant black or ibis white. The white looks cool but I wonder if I'll get sick of it after a while. Black needs alot of care to keep looking good but when the car is detailed properly I think it looks amazing.
I was going to get alcantara seats too but I was told the only way to get the leather armrest, instrument cowl etc was to get the enhanced leather pkg with the nappa leather. I'll be the only one in the car 80% of the time so hopefully there wont be too much seat sag.
I also thought about getting 19" wheels but the potholes around me would probably destroy them.
I'll post pics when it comes in.

To prevent sag... don't wear your wallet in your back pockets and clean and condition regularly
If it is not warm out, use a hairdryer when applying the conditioner. You need the warmth to absorb the conditioner... So far I have done this and I have no sagging (knocks on wood). Where as on my first Mk2 I conditioned and wore my wallet and it started to sag.
You'll love the car! It's amazing. The more I drive it the more I get perma-grin!

Thanks,
I dont really use a wallet anyway...just a small case for ccards and sometimes a money clip.
I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway

Except that sag is symmetric - even on side where no wallet
so not sure that's the problem. I wonder if conditioning and using hair dryer will restore the seat and lessen the sag somewhat??

I used the hairdryer...
the first time while I conditioned the seats yesterday... I did notice the leather tighten up quite a bit with the heat. Hopefully it does help... Sucks that we all have to worry about this virtually the day of purchase!
