You can order the comfort seats alone ($2,100) or combined with the sport package ($1,200), but you automatically get the sports seats if you choose the sport package.

I can relate to your issue since my wife liked the comfort seats better than the sport seats. Since I am the primary driver of the car I have decided for the sport seats. That is the question you will have to answer: Who will drive the car more often? If it is your wife get the comfort seats. If it is you, just get the sport seats. They are great. Good luck.
