I just sat in these yesterday. I'm 6'2" 230lbs and the seats are too tight for me. Getting in and out is a bit of a dance and upper bolster is good. The leg bolstering has me sitting like I'd be wearing a mini skirt, with my upper legs on top of the center hump rather than around it. Looks like the reviewer is sitting on top of the bolsters rather than in the seat as well. They definitely didn't seem fit for anyone over 200lbs.

I wonder if we'll ever make it more than 2 pages without someone mentioning Porsche

Comparison is good. Porsche and BMW are best drivers cars IMO.

So factor in an extra $1000 for a treadmill when you select the CF seat option on your build lol.

Glad I lost 40 pounds over past 2 years. I should be good to go for the CF seats. Now I have to keep it off.

Is it just me or did it seem like he was gonna drop his sweat pants prior to getting in? 😅
That would've given him an extra 0.5'' knee clearance !

I believe so yes...you're in the minority.
