I've got an A3 in Mauritius Blue pearl with the ink blue/deep blue leather
seats which look great. The leather seats are a lot easier to clean. I also
opted for black headlining as grey can often show up dirt.

I got a test drive of an A3 sportback with the two tone brown leather
which was really nice, except the one thing that irked me was that the
rear seats don't fold flat! Totally useless for me I'm afraid.
Something to consider if moving heavy objects is important.

If you heavy object moving is planned ahead, you can remove rear seat
bottom cushion fairly easily. Then the seats fold flat (In the 3.2,
anyway)
I'm looking at removing the rear seat parts entirely, and building a
shallow set of compartments where the botom was, and a folding panel
on the seatback's hinges. When latched in the up position, it will
keep small cargo in place in back, and when down, it will form a flat
floor, and lock closed to secure valuables in the compartments.
One could also install amps and/or speakers in this area..
BTW: A dark interior, tinted windows, and a few dark towels let you
keep expensive items on the front seat, covered, and they're nearly
invisible from the outside. Same for the cargo bay. (I don't use the
stock cover).

Interesting. I wonder why they didn't keep with the old system of just
removing the rear head restraints and pulling the seat parts up and
forward.
Good to know though, thanks.
