I've got sport seats in the front, and they are quite comfortable. I took a long time in finding the right position for the driver's seat, and thank Heaven for seat memory! Now it's dialed in nicely, and my butt stays comfortable much longer than my bladder on long trips. Way longer than my wife's bladder.

Yes, but not much. My youngest son and my daughter were along for that trip, so we had to have two in the back. The boy is taller and heavier than me, and really complains about extended back seat time, so Mom gave him her seat for the trip. She's smaller, so it doesn't bother as much I guess.

Ah; confirmation. Thanks. I was thinking of car shopping (a nice 750iL perhaps?) but maybe I'll just look into retrofitting the reclining seats into my car. The hunt begins...
