No one (or close to it) here has spent time in them so it's hard to say for sure. Everyone's idea of comfort or "acceptable" varies widely.

I think if you get them simply because they look cool, you may be disappointed. Just like many people get an M car and say "boy, what a rough ride, I hate this".

I think they should be a good bit easier for ingress/egress and finding a comfortable spot due to the seats adjustability... something obvious lacking in a fixed bucket seat... of course you lose rigidity by making it adjustable. Also length of trip probably matters a lot. I recently heard a 19yo complaining about the fixed buckets in GT3 on a ~2h drive to the track.

they do look cool, but I'd make sure you can at least tolerate them on a showroom before ordering...
