Charlotte area - Bucket seats
Anybody near the Charlotte area have the carbon bucket seats?
I secured an allocation the other day and currently have the buckets optioned, but am having second thoughts since I have not had an opportunity to sit in them. I am 5'7", 160 pounds with 32 inch waist and in my mid-30s, so I don't think my age or body type will be an issue, but I hope ingress/egress is not as terrible as some folks claim. I also went with a 6spd and have read mixed reviews over how the center hump feels between the thighs when shifting. Thoughts? I would be interested in making a drive to get a few minutes of seat time. If you know of a dealer with the seats and can advise, that would be much appreciated as well. |

From the videos and reviews I've seen, apart from sitting in them at the dealer, they are comfortable. As far as getting in and out, it'll bother your left quad/thigh region as it'll run the side bolster, which is rigid, unless you high step it as if you were doing a HIIT workout. Other than that, no drive time on them, so can't really tell you how they'd o on road conditions as far as comfort.

I could never live with those seats. I tried them once and it was an immediate hard pass.
Complete pain in the ass to get and out of.

Thank you all. Too late now as I had a week 9 build which already went into production and is now in 155 status (QC purgatory). I left it with the carbon buckets optioned. Sometimes you need to take a gamble and my tolerance level with regards to comfort and ingress/egress is probably at least North of the average.
Many thanks. |
