I have always said if i ever crashed my car and it was totaled, i would take the seats out of them and mount them to something. They are so damn comfortable

Totally! They're comfortable in the car...but in the office it's even better. IDK if that's because I'm so used to having a terrible, uncomfortable office chair? But when I plop down into this thing now....oh....YEAH.

In keeping with historical precedent, I keep waiting for someone to jump in here and extol the virtues of the C5 & 6 chair over the C4..

That's one area will few would argue the superiority of the C4! The seats in the C5/6 are abysmal.

Oh, I agree.. They're perfect. (I was making a joke.)

Nobody can believe we drove the 85 4000 miles cross country. "Isn't it uncomfortable?" "It looks so small?" "Didn't it kill your back?" Is all I hear.

Not at all. It was great, and it's the standard seats. I really don't think there's much that could be improved on there.

The seats that Chev put in the C4 are awesome for a production car.
