Anyone opted for the "Comfort Seats" option in the RS6/S6/A6? There isnt much explanation on the website, and the pictures dont do much to help. Something on the plus side for these seats is that it enables Aircon/cooling for your seats as well as a massage feature, which seems quite a neat idea.

Any experience or opinions?

Really? Strange.

Try A7/A8 brochure, same seats.

I did find a little explanation of them, I guess I was more after personal experience/thoughts/opinion.

Oh, sorry; I think I misread your post.

I've driven a few cars with climate controlled seats and once the novelty factor had worn off I didn't use it very much. It isn't often hot enough in this country for them to be a huge benefit but cool air on your bum when getting into a hot car is nice, after the first few minutes I turned it off.

The shape of the comfort seats is actually really, really nice. I was driving an A7 with them recently and it was supremely comfortable. Supportive in a good sofa sort of a way, I'm sure I was more chilled/relaxed driving it too.

The super sport seats I think would be my personal preference partially because of the way they look but the balance of comfort/support is spot on too.

Yeah the supersports seats are by far my preference looks-wise, but I have to spec a car which I can fit rear seat screens in, so supersports are out. At least the comfort seats are zero-cost option in the RS6, and the massage and cooling feature is sort of a conciliation prize.

I'm fully in favour of them and in the summer use the cooling all of the time, if you are doing long trips they are superb. Many years ago one of my customers had a high end Mercedes with them, we had a fair journey to do and he said try the cooling seats, it was a blazing hot day and the seats left a lasting impression on me so much so I will not buy a car without them. The massage function I can take or leave but on a long hot journey the cooling function on the seats are something else.
