Had this conversation at work today.
My faves are E36 M3 'Vader'.., B6 Audi RS4 Recaro and an old school Recaro with netting in the head rest! 3.0L Capri/Astra GSI iirc!
Most comfy seat Ive sat in/used is in my '03 9-5 Aero.
As my age increases, comfort seems to out weigh looks!

Vaders are ok,

But the best car seat is the sport leather in a porsche 968 bar none.

The most comfortable seat I've sat in was in a Ford Scorpio. In fact I'm struggling to think of anything more comfortable NOT in a car.

I pretty much love all Recaro seats, really like the seats in the Escort RS1600i they are one of the best I have sat in.

I test drove a couple of subaru Tribecas back in 2006. they have the most comfortable seats I have ever had the pleasure to sit in. The ones in my old mk1 mr2 were pretty good too (did 75k in those)

They are lovely things to sit in. I've never sat in anything better.

The bolsters were a bit of a pain, but once in they really were comfortable and held you in just the right position.
Looked stunning as well.

Awesome we've both had Lagos Evos. My Reg was L77 EVO but I sold the car to a collector in Italy.

The heated Recaro's in my mk2 Focus ST3 are pretty damn comfy. The Recaro Speed's I bought for my Supra a couple of years ago were pretty comfy too.

The Vaders are a good shout.

For out and out comfort and support, the best by far for me has been the probax seats in the newer Lotus Elise's. I did a 13 hour drive to the south of France in mine and got out feeling fresh as a daisy.

E24 highback Recaro's are fabulously comfortable things but I suspect the 18 way adjustable BMW E38 Contour seats take a fair amount of beating.
