Q5 seats are quite comfortable but not for a long drive 4-10hrs. but I think that goes to every car. im pretty pleased with the leather seating that the Q5 came with.

We have the sport seats and after two 5 hour drives, just a couple of days apart, I can say that the seats are very comfortable to me. I especially like the thigh extension. I am a heavy guy and like my seats firm. My wife is small and she has no comfort issues with the seats either.

As an option, we like to use the auto shows as a first 'feel' for seats amongst other things. No pressure and a lot of vehicles to try out at one time.

European seats are typically firmer than those in domestic cars. A real soft/cushy seat will actually be more fatiguing on long trips because they simply don't provide enough support for your back and bottom. Of course, you don't want the seat to be as stiff as a board either.

Another thing to consider is not selecting heated seats. I have noticed in the past that the same non-heated version of a seat (in VW's in particular) is more supple than the heated version.

I think the seats are quite comfortable. We've taken some really long day trips over the past year, the most recent a 12 hour drive about two months ago. I've was quite comfortable the whole time.
