They are different. afterall, when it comes down to seats, it more about personal taste and fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also been in the European version same seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinSoD Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 From what I felt... it was a firm leather... but the cushioning was very supple... Nothing like subaru has ever had. And you don't know what uncomfortable is until you buy a set of 11lbs Sparcos 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha-evolution Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Excellent work! I thought the seats were comfortable. Of course I only sat in it for a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I thought those front seats were the worst Subaru front seats I've ever sat in. No support whatsoever. Hard and no support makes me look elsewhere for good seats. That means I'll be losing the heated seat portion too. :( Somehow the back seats felt fine though. The vehicle I was in was an OB XT though I'd imagine the seats won't be that different between the Leg and OB if anything other than color.

waflowers Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Darn! I was hoping for seats that looked good and offered excellent support and bolstering. Yep, I wanted it all. Am I going to have to toss the stock seats to get something supportive for autocross? With all the disappointments I'm hearing maybe I'll just hang onto my '97 GT and mod it further. When I had it at the Evolution autocross school a month ago I found out how good it really was! :D -- Bill Flowers Clearwater, FL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I like just about everything about it except those seats up front suck terribly. The rears were nice IIRC. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallguylehigh Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I know it is a gimmick, but I think the sweep of the needles when you start up the car is just awesome. Like watching a movie every time you get in the car!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ha-evolution Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Are they going to go to a track somewhere and really test it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 They are likely to head out to a track in the Cherry Hill/Phili area. That's what they did with salesman and the STi. I'll probably get to see track footage from one of my salesman if they do something similar to what they did with the STi. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
