I have a Audi A1 SLine and a GTD.
The Sline is very hard although perfectly livable with (for me) compared to the GTD.
The GTD on 18" is perfect if I'm honest. Not to firm or crashy (standard suspension and our roads aren't the best around here.

I would probably say the MK7 GTD was on par with my M6 GT on 18" wheels.

I have tartan and DCC on the GTD.

Have previously driven 2 BMWs and 2 Mercs with leather and have not missed at all. I don't have kids or allow people to eat hot, messy food in the car, so I guess that helps. The material is also good and despite nearly a year of the local car wash boys using vacs on it, it remains like new.

I would chose DCC again, Sport mode is great for a fun B road session, but too firm all the time, comfort is great for motorways and rough track roads where I live but a bit fluffy for a fast drive on varied roads , but to me the choice of both plus the "normal" in between setting is money well spent. I have the car for 2 years, so it works out less than £8 a week, so for two pints of beer - well worth it.
