[V8] Comfort? Seats

... I've only driven long distance in Audis with "sports" seats ... on
three different models (Audi Fox, urq and V8 #344).  I think the
"sports" seats may be a bit less comfortable based upon one's anatomical
features, but I must say that I find Audi's "sports" seats to be quite
comfortable for mine.  When I go on long distance drives they are done
with long days and few stops ... and at least for me I've never had a
case of tired butt syndrome at the end of a day or three.  My wife's
anatomical features are quite different from mine, and one of the things
she *doesn't* like about #2 is that it has "comfort" seats!

I guess my jaunts up to Sacramento and back in a day may qualify as
"long distance" ... ~300 miles in one day ... and I did some trips in
the Avant, so I guess I've done long trips in the Barcaloungers too ...
they seem to be pretty comfortable as well ...
