Am I the only one who hates the MSPEED'S seats?

[vladib]

I had serious buyer's remorse when I first got my Mazdaspeed because I find the seats very uncomfortable. Somehow my back just sinks back into it, and I find myself frequently adjusting the controls. After I bought some leather seat pads it got a little better.

Can anyone advise me on this one? I mean, I LOVE this car except for the damn seats! Driving to Vegas for me would be hell! And when I get into my 1989 Honda Civic, the seats fit me like a glove. This pisses me off because my Civic is worth about $1800 at best!

Does it cost a hell of a lot of money to get new seats? By the way, I'm a newbie, bought a yellow mica late in January. Thanks, guys, unbelievable forum!

To me the seats are fine...a lil on the uncomfortable side but bearable for now.

i bought those ebay seats.

not the ones u liked to, but the ones that look like the corbeau A4s.

I havent ever owned any corbeaus or recaro or sparcos to compare them to but they seem decent to me - especially for the price

havent installed em yet cuz i cant bring myself to shell out a cple hundred on brackets

I actually find the MSP seats comfy. Might enjoy a little mroe support in theback on long drives or lateral support for when im carving but other than that they're nice

I hate the seats on my GF's P5, so I figured I'd hate the MSP seats as well. For some reason, they are just different enough that I don't mind the seats on the MSP a bit. Also, if you leave it alone for a few months it will probably start to conform to your body and seating position, which may make it a bit more comfortable for you.

I HATE THEM!, and the pedal placement, i have to adjust every day...it sucks..

plus i wear my shirt tucked in for work, and it pulls it out in the back .

are you fat?

I have the 2002 LX and it has nice seats.. very back friendly for me. But my previous car had horrible seating. I ended up going to AutoZone and sitting down in different styles of seat cushioning to find the one I liked the best. And it still didn't work when I got it into my car. Ended up returning it.

are you fat?

(lol)

My P5 seats, which are primarily the same as the MSP's give me no trouble.

 

[vladib]

Nope, I'm not fat.

Misery does like company, though, so I am glad that I'm not the only one who hates them.

 

[paulstrovsky]

are you fat?

Yup! But the MSP seats don't bother me a bit!

 

[espionage3]

Yea I hate these stupid seats! I would trade my useless knob, pedals, and especially stereo for some real racing seats. Or at least something more sport inspired.

 

[Vicocola]

hahaha funny a *girl* friend of mine found the seats a lot more comfortable than my other friend w/ the WRX...

I have a couple of fiberglass racing seats I'm looking to get rid of if you want to buy them.

 

[mp5jeff]

a good idea to remember when buying a car - test drive the ******* thing and make sure you like it. or just buy new seats, that works too. But like a car, you might want to acctualy sit in the seats before you buy them so you don't get them and complain you don't like them either.

I had dealer install black kat skinz with yellow stitch. Looks are awesome and way more comfort than the fac material. Just my 2 cents.

 

[AutoBox]

i think they are comfortable.....i need suuport though....racing seats in a couple months hopefully

 

[Bremmer]

I don't mind the seats, they aren't the most comfortable which is why I"m getting differnt ones later on. the only thing i dislike about them is that they are black with a wierd material and when it's almost 100 out, I sweat my ass off, probably cause I don't use the ac. I like to drive with the windows down.

 

[Tri-C]

I am sorry to say that they don't seem quite as comfortable as those in the Protege5.

Because I am tall, the dual adjustability of the seat cushion height played a MAJOR role in my purchase decision.

 

[ND4MSP]

Im not sore from driving at all, but it would be nice to not have to hold myself in while Im trying to enjoy the handling on a windy hill.

i think the seats are ok on a day to day basis, like good to work or what not. but i go home often on the weekends and a 3.5 hour drive makes my back hurt. as for performance, the seats hardly hold you anywhere, i wish they had more side supports. owell, not bad though
