As I said, it depends on your size. The guy who owned the seat in the pic wasn't slim but many average guys who've got largish thighs have had problems getting comfy in the seats too.

Nice seats is all I meant to say, and yes I know this is an International forum as I have been here awhile.
Maybe a detailed description wasnt necesary to me as I forgot I wasnt the only one here.
They do look considerably different from the other choice.
Bottom line is the seats are nice and those pictures of the ruined ones is sad.
Nothing Audi Warranty wouldnt be able to straighten out

I not surprised that the buckets are showing this kind of wear, any seat that has a high thigh support will, you usually seat partly on this as you get into the seat and over time this will give way and lose it's shape.
Oh, by the way, in Australia the Recaro Bucket Seats are actually called the Recaro Butt Clenches and the Recaro Sports Seat are the Recaro Fat Ass Seats.
Thought this might just be how it translates into English.
Search and you will find the truth.
Or for those of us with back injuries (I have a misplaced disc in the lumbar region).Originally Posted by KK265
I have an RS4 Avant with the Recaro Sports seats, and was in an RS4 saloon yesterday with the bucket seats for less than 2 hours - and it was getting quite uncomfortable, I couldn't do a day's driving in the bucket seats.
P.S. I'm 1.8m tall and 78kg weight.

In Australia the RS4 comes standard with the "buckets " and are extremely comfortable.Getting in and out through is an art that can be mastered .The sport seats only come as an option for the fat arses or those that want full electrics and are the same as the OZ spec S4.Of the 53 RS4 sedans sold ..all were with the buckets.
You still have these?
Thanks
