see Barcius, you can tell worth too (remember the other thread?). I agree on the comfort seats. I skipped those because while they were comfortable, the benefit is not worth $1k, plus they're "taking away" sport seats which are already paid for separately.

Anyway, I like the sport seats - you can definitely feel it is advantageous having them in fast turns. The side bolsters at the knee are difficult to deal with if you are shorter (than say 5'11") because you have to hop up and out. You can get around this problem by leaning your weight towards the rear of the seat (after facing outward) and reach your left leg down as that part is not raised. It sounds more tedious than it actually is. My wife and MIL have a tougher time being shorter of course... you have to consider who's using the vehicle and how often.
