Sports seats with SE

Ramon959 · 19-09-2008,11:04 PM

Now that some people have put a few miles in their cars - anyone care to rate the seats?

I (will) have the cloth sports, but I would like to know how they compare to the Standard/S-Line/Leather variants.

I regularly do 1/2/300 miles in a stint and need to make sure I get out feeling at least half normal - hope they are good as they look...

Ive got the S Line half leather/cloth seats. They are very comfortable altho I do find myself playing with the lumber support all the time. Its a novelty for me as Ive never had electric lumber support and I cannot get comortable at all. I have also found that the leather towards the door appears to be puckering up and becoming loose.......... Im not conscience that I should not lean on it when I get out of the car. I do like the way I can tilt the bottom/seat bit.

I ahve the cloth version in my SE. They're spot on. Once i got used to the firmess over my previous car, i really like them. The lumber adjustment sometimes creaks a bit, but other than that i really like them

i have the milano leather sports seats - very supportive , so far very comfortable (only done a thousand miles so far though...)

only slight niggle is the lumbar support doesn't seem to go quite high enough for me (but then i'm 6'3")

when i had cloth seats ( had a loan car with standard cloth prior to getting my car ) i found the center arm rest made my elbow sore when i wore t-shirts (what a sensative sole i am !) - also found i slid about a bit when cornering hard in the standard seats

I've got milano leather sports seats in an SE and have done many 200-mile trips in comfort. I'm tall so like the extending cushion at the front for additional upper leg support.

The leather looks just fine. Wrinkles a bit then sorts itself out.

Another vote for "can't get on with electric lumbar" here.

Apart from that fine, although my driver seat sometimes 'clunks' when pulling away. Pretty sure its lumbar related as it does a similar trick sometimes when making adjustments.

Yeah, my seats are getting a little stretched, but nothing I can really do about it.

As long as that nice leather smell doesn't disappear before my lease is up I'll be happy as larry! The lumbar support I've got, well, I think, just right... Took so much fiddling, and I almost dragged my brother out the car through the driver window when he fiddled with the seats then reset it to wind me up whilst I was talking to a friend of mine, took me atleast 2 trips to get back to where I wanted it!

I have to say though, now it's so fricking freezing, the heated seats are a must!

Over all, I like the seats... My nan on the other hand hates them, she can't seem to slide in and out as they're a bit buckety.
