All,
I'm looking at purchasing a set of these for a project car which will be used for a two week or so Eurotrip involving several 12hr stints. The only car I've driven with a set fitted was the Focus RS and immediate impressions based on a 1 hr drive were very good, but that's where my experience ends. How to they hold up for a long distance journey, and aside from the CS what other seats in your experience have offered a notable blend of support and comfort?

Thanks.

Sat 6 hours in one across Wales and back today in the Evora, where I believe it is standard, as well as the RS. Very comfortable. Only comment is I believe there have been a number of warranty claims based on the wear of the leather and the fading of the colour. Mine has this a little, with 10k miles. I'm a big lad and it is a big seat.

Had them in my RS and covered 17k in them. I found them firm but very comfortable. You just have to careful getting in and out so the sides don't get damaged.
