Exactly my experience with Alcantara. It looks good initially but looks used very quickly generally.
I was thinking of getting my wheel re-trimmed with some contrast stitching but then thought 'what's the point?' since all the other stitching in the car will still be normal and the mis-match would annoy me. I'm not getting the entire interior redone either, so I'll just leave it unless I win the lottery.
Of all the things Audi have cut back on for the UK market, contrast stitching on the interior really is quite baffling.
A 360 cam requires chips and components so ok we get it, but what is the difference between black / grey / red / green stitching ?
I'm guessing it will either come at a later date on future cars (maybe next year) or a face lift whenever that comes.
It is a crying shame though, for the sake of some colour dye, it would have made such a difference.
I know many have complained about the interior quality but on the whole I am very happy with it.
The seats are supremely comfortable and the leather feels thick and premium and you can't beat that smell when you get in the car.
The door handles have a really nice movement and the doors close with a satisfying thunk.
No squeaks or rattles, it does feel really well put together.
Exterior wise I really cannot convey how good these cars look - from any angle.
Absolutely no complaints whatsoever - the styling is bang on the money and it really is a car that you definitely look back to see as you're walking away.
I'm really pleased with daytona too, it really is a stunning colour and perfectly suits the lines of the car and blends so well with the black roof and carbon trim.
