Audi A3 2024. Seating issue.

[Denise Mason]

I have purchased an Audi A3 with the standard seats my first Audi and automatic have had issues previously with seating as I’m 5ft 3 and have fault short legs.  I’m really struggling with setting my seats and having siatica and bursitis I’m finding that where my leg bends ivef the seat it is pressing on my calf when driving so causing additional pain anyone else had this or can suggest anything please as I do like the car but may have to sell it if not I’ve purchased this car outright so going to

lose alot of money but Carnt continue on pain

I empathesise

My Audi A3 2020 35TDI S line was mean to come with lumbar and electronic adjustment and because of Covid/ Ukraine/Who knows

It came with standard seats

Im not gonna lie, Audi seats are not the best especially on an S line spec. Their made for people that enjoy dynamic fast driving

Nobody buys and Audi for pure comfort, their performance cars. I have adjusted my seat high up and work it well, I can do 2 hours before getting tired

 

 

In your case, maybe just add cushions, but there is no simple answer. People buy Mercedes for comfort.

There's been a lot of cars not receiving the kit they should have had. Have you spoke to the supplying dealer about this? 

As it's been not sold as stated.

Thanks

I had a dig in my emails and to be fair to the dealer I asked them if there was electronic adjustment as stated on website but they email back manual only

So I accepted it full willing

Im 2.5 years in and done 25k miles, love the car the only thing I look forward to on the next one if i hand it in is a massager seat or

i may just keep it, its not healthy to be in a seat for more than 2 hours non stop anyway so it faciliates a break. Cars arent planes unfortunately,

although my Mercedes with airmatik definitely feels like one over these atrocious uk roads

Dont ask, 2007 build, electric gremlins, the nav doesnt work neither does the radiom but by god does it glide and absorb uk roads, 

I love audi but for comfort Mercedes always wins
