How are the seats? I have been reading on them and that seems to be a complaint from a lot of people diving them longer distances, that the seats are kind of sub par.

Do like them, if I wasn't so dead set against buying a new car I might consider one for the stable.

Don't know about you but I can drive 400 miles non stop in the FXT and not feel messed up. They are comfy seats better than my camry of the recaros in the 4runner.

I liked the 04/05 WRX seats. I drove almost 800 mi in one weekend with the STi seats in the FXT and I had no complaints.

Congrats Heedz!

The recaros are for sure tight. But I'm used to driving in sparcos... These are far more compliant.

Agreed. They just sit too damn high in the GC/GM/GF chassis
