Thousands of people use the standard seats w/o any issue.Go cek a dokter. ITS not the seats......its your body that is not functioning well. And pls i agree w 81911. Its not the dealers fault that u hv a problem w your shoulders. Unless u told them b4 went u order the car.

 

If the dealer tells me an option isn't available then I believe him. It was the sales manager who configured the car with me. If he had asked me if I wanted a different seat then I would have tried the other ones. That's his job.

Most places I have bought expensive things from happily exchange things if a customer asks. On my old BMW I decided I wanted better wheels and they happily exchanged them for the difference in cost at 5,000 miles. That's what a good business does for its customers.

I only have 2,000 miles on this thing right now.

 

i don't think him having a long torso and wide shoulders has anything to do with his body not functioning well. while i do agree it's not really the dealer's fault. i can't fault the OP either, the longer the test drive the more better sense the buyer can get, if it really suits him/her.

i actually can relate to this, being 6'3 i fear for the headroom whenever i step into a car.

 

So I get this straight; you have (100% accuracy) sat in either a sport seat or adaptive seat, yes? As of right now, you have the 12 way power seat, correct?

 

My 997 came with the comfort seats also, and I hated them too.

I bought some sport seats that came out of a GT3RS for $1200. It was an easy swap. i did it myself.

The seats are bolted down by 4 bolts and the the wiring harness is the same for all the seats. Plug and play.

 

That's weird how standard seats don't fit you. I would think it's the other way around since standard seats don't have anything protruding into your shoulder.

In any case, upgrade if it bothers you. There are tons of seating options out there and buying used will keep cost down.

Philosophically, you shouldn't believe what sales people tell you. Porsche salesman is no different than another other salesman. Lesson learned.

 

Yikes...generalize much? So with that same philosophy are all Dr's the same? Just want to have you take a pill and cut you open? All Lawyers lie and just want your money?

Well, maybe Dana.

Let's slow down, and stop with the 'I'm a victim' mentality.

To your VALID point- one would think the standard seats are more comfortable- however I did have one client state that BECAUSE the sport seat flares out- it creates a flatter surface for certain people whose upper back/shoulder blades- hit that area. So its plausible. expensive yes. but plausible.

 

Seats are a very personal thing. Not being comfortable in a car ruins the whole experience. My first time driving a gallardo was ruined because I was not comfortable in the car.

I'm a sorta large dude at 6'2" and 230lbs, and I found the comfort seats to be too narrow to support me. Felt like I was leaning back against a Popsicle stick. The sports/adaptive seats were a much better fit for me as the wings make them wider.

 

I dont normally agree w/sanner but i do this time.

 

I can't even post against this without it being a personal attack, so I won't.
