Emira seats

After my test drive I came away with the only query which was the seat base hardness.

Anyone found the seats bases too hard?

Yes. I did. I mentioned it a few times on here, too. I didn't like the seats at all due to the bases.

Some people seem to find them ok, others not happy with them at all. I wondered if it was due to differences between demo cars but the one I drove and found arse-numbing uncomfortable was driven by others who found he seat fine. So I guess it's horses for courses.

Although according to other PHers (some of whom were apparently able to assess them through their screens since they'd never sat on one) the seats are fine. Anyone saying they're not is just jumping on the bandwagon after Harry M said he didn't like them (he subsequently changed his mind).

Thanks, maybe the new seats will soften over time, who knows.

I am hoping once the S and the R appear they will have some nice carbon buckets so there will be a choice...

Very much so, the seats were the deal breaker for me.

Hard base, wide, unsupportive and curiously short backed.

No, lots of people have said that in the press, here and on other forums. It seems to be something the owners get over.

For me, I found them to sit a little bit too high, but not a deal breaker.

What was a deal breaker was the seat backs. Too short and the head rest seemed to protrude forwards into my neck, no ability to raise it. Only solution was to recline the seat excessively. I am only 6'2, and normal proportions.

Anyone with similar height had similar experience?
