Bucket Seats - Boxster S

[markyone]

Thinking about taking the bucket seat option on my new boxster. Anybody got any views on this?

Great for track days but if your car is a daily used car I have heard people getting pissed off with the slower entry and exit from the vehicle that this type of seat leads to.

Can I suggest the Sports Seats? I had the regular seats in my last Boxster S and my arse slid around a bit on track days - but they were comfotable enough for general use.

In my new Boxster S I got the sports seats - which provide additional lateral support with no discernible downside in getting in and out of the car. They do NOT provide the sort of backside-hugging grip that a bucket does...but there again do you need that on a daily basis.

The wife has a bad back and she reckoned the Sports Seats were more comfortable..and I believe they are a no-cost option with leather anyway.

I suppose it depends on whether you can put with the downsides for extra connection with the car on Track Days...

I have a pair of brand new bucket seats in grey leather for sale @ £2k for the pair. I had to remove them out of my 996 TT and replace them with standard sports seats to give easier access for my kids who are occasional passengers.
