love em. they fade or scratch easily. try not to wear jeans or if you drive your car in the rain and have wet jeans on, thats even worse. I clean them after every drive in my last car and they held up well.
I agree with Turbous - I have the red seats with Daytona Gray and they look great. They are indeed a darker red than you'll see in most photos. Mine is garage kept and I've had it for only 7 months, so I don't know whether they'll fade. No scratches on 'em.

I have Ibis with red sports seats plus all interior trim stitched in red, would def want same if I am lucky enough to own another, the interior can look too dark all black, always gets good comments, so for me red is a must, good luck with your purchase.
I've been worried when I've been picking a car... online! In reality red color is much more subtle than on majority of the pics. Go for it, I'm not sorry, they are great on a white car.
Go for it. I had red seats in my Meteor Gray S5 (Audi called it Tuscan Brown, but everyone else called them red) and they looked great. Everyone complimented them. My friend had a dark blue S5 and went with the same seats and they looked really good in his car, even with such a different body color.
This car is pretty head turning anyway, its not like red seats will make it any more visually spectacular than it already is.
Red seats are very popular in the US and I wouldn't think twice about owning a car there with red seats However red seats will put off a lot of potential buyers in the UK when you go to sell the car regardless of how good you think they look.
I think that there is going to be a more limited market for red seats in the UK, but the car I have found is better than any others I have seen so far.
Also, it does not look like a re-trim is a massive issue should I decide to go black another day.
Cheers
