I love my old Volvo S60 R-Design seat (Volvo do some of the best seats around), the bolsters were large and you sat in those seats, not on them. Th Stinger seats are comfortable to me but I wish the side bolsters were like the Volvo's while keeping the adjustability and the seat bolsters could be a bit more. I have taken long road trips in them and loved them but just wish for more during the spirited driving spurts. In addition, it would be great if both front seats and similar adjustability and the rear seats were also of a sporty design.

seats are very comfortable to me but I'm 5'10" 155. I do agree with them on the red on red color combo, it simply isn't good. White on red on the other hand.... mmmm oh yeah

One of the most comfortable seats I have had in a car! Spent 3 hours a day in them Monday to Friday for past year. Miss those seats!

Luv my seats glad didn't get the red too much red the black looks toned down and elegant

Regular leather trim feels great to me. 6'3" and c. 165 lbs. Head room is my biggest challenge. The seat is all the way to the floor, angled as flat as I can make it. This allows enough head room. Someone taller than me would have to angle the seat back, and that would start making the touch screen too much of a stretch to reach. We want to see the turn signals; and so steering wheel tilt is a key part of getting this all to work.

I'm not a fan of the seats in my GT2 but I forgive them since I love the cooled function and the way the bolsters hug you when you start the car, and release you when you turn it off. That seat bottom is brutal on long trips though; reminds me of memory foam, comfortable at first but not for long periods.

It's the wrong red to match with the red exterior.
I was trying to get the grey interior that comes with the blue, it was a special order that was possible according to the system, but my dealer couldn't give me a delivery date. Had that combo in an Audi TT and it looked great!!
So, in the end I took the black interior!
Seats feel great, cooling/heating works great, but I agree that Volvo R seats are the best standard seats out there... And they are SO thin!!
The down side for me is headroom on entry, I'm 6ft, 220lbs with an Athletic build!! Bump my head almost daily getting in and out.

It’s all subjective; I love the red interior on my Hichroma red GT2! The aluminum accents with the black dash really looks classy IMHO. To me the black seats look boring and dull on a car that is so sexy
