Default Seat Question

Right now l am on a quest for a 2000/2001 coupe and l just realized that l knew very little about the seats in the C5. I am aware that the C4 seats are better so lets get past that.

What were the choices and is one better then the other as far as comfort and durability.

I don't think theres a huge difference in the comfort,etc. Probably a little better with the sportseats as they have lumbar and adjustable side bolsters. IMHO the sportseats just look better.

The side bolsters tend to wear though. I've had mine replaced under warranty and now just got new covers. Mine has 50k on it though.

Only kidding 5'7" and my C4 sport seats were perfect.

Come on the c4 seats don't look half as nice as the c5. I think they are very comfortable, and have no complaints.

The C5 sport seats are the only way to go.

I am 6'-3", and 265#. I am very comfortable in the sport seats, once I get in them. The side bolsters are a little worn from the previous owner, but I am very careful not to rub them when I get in.
