► Month 8 with the Audi TTS
► Quilted leather seats are sublime
► Centre armrest a must for comfort
A special mention to the quilted leather sports seats in the TT. They’re grippy, hard-wearing and extremely comfortable to boot – which is a fine balance, considering how many cars pursue one of these qualities at the expense of the others, leaving us squirming and moaning after an hour at the wheel.
We specced electric operation for £995: works well, but if you’re the only driver you could save a grand and DIY. I wouldn’t skimp on the £175 centre armrest though – it does wonders for the contentedness of my left elbow.
