Most comfortable car seat?

[timbo48]

MG ZT-T. 500+ miles down to Morzine last year in one go, got out feeling as if I'd just been round the corner to the shops.

MR2 Turbo Seats.

4 position lumbar adjustment
Bolster tightness adjustment
Seat height adjust

Never sat in a more comfortable OE or aftermarket seat, so much so that I'd seriously consider retrofitting one into my next car.

My old 9-5 Aero seats were extremely comfortable.

If you mean comfortable as in the sort of chair you'd sit in at home then Volvo gets my vote. Had a V70 briefly and compared to the Mercedes and Jaguar barges I was used to the seats were in a different league.

The 80's/90's Porsche Sports seats:

Was just about to say the very same thing, supportive and very very comfortable on a long run

VW Corrado standard seats, helped by the
frankly perfect driving position.

This.

Believe it or not i actually find the seats in my VX220 one of the most comfortable i have been in.

Done 2 european tours (3k miles) one in my VX and one in the Ferrari. Felt like i could drive all day in the VX (I did actually) without any aches or pains. I couldn't walk after a good few hours driving the Ferrari.

Vauxhall's sport seats (Astra Mk4 SRI/SXI, Vectra C SRI) are considered some of the better seats out there. It's a Recaro design (actually built by Recaro in pre-2000 Astras).

They're good seats, but I wouldn't say they are the most comfortable.

The seats in my Saxo VTS were very nice, infact most Citroens seem to be!

The best I've sat in is a mk 1 clio, honestly. Like a bloody armchair that thing is.

These:



Not the most suportative seats, but incredibly comfortable.

But it seems Volvo have always built the best seats on the market 123GT; 740; 940; 850; V70 (V70R!!!!); C30. Wouldn't buy anything else!!

I have heard this from many people on vx220.org

One of the reasons I got rid of my VX is because I found the seats unbelievably uncomfortable. As they have no adjustment I guess it very much depends on whether your body shape is the shape the designers made the chair for!

Lexus RX armchairs are a nice place to be on a long journey

[tom felty]

either Nissan Navara or merc SLK

[AndyHSPL]

Depends on what your using it for but I found RS4 recaros to be an amazing throne on 5hr+ drives.

If it's pure comfort your after for a long drive my old p38 range rover faired pretty well on similar journeys

Saab 9000 Aero seats were epic.

I like my MX5 seats, but then I'm short and the support me well.

[ferkle]

All Saab seats, but the ones in my 9000 aero were so good that they are being transplanted into my campervan.

Great things about SAABs:

Seats
Night panel
Centre console ignition
Q-Car abilities (well, the Aeros anyway)

Will be a shame when they are gone, I hope someone buys the patents/designs for the above and uses them...

[williamp]

Can I add: Ford Transit

[Rawwr]

Lotus 340R seats, by quite some margin.

[craig2003]

I found the Recaro's in the Evo's to be pretty good, the Konig's in the R32 are nowhere near as comfy as they were
