Do You Like Your C6 Seats?
If you think they are comfy, cozy and supportive, click YES.
If you don't, click NO.
This should provide a true consensus among forum members.
It is also very scientific and it took me quite some time to figure it out. Hopefully, I have made it easy for you!
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Just to start this off, I like my seats and have taken my Vette (Z51 suspension) on many trips of distance and have had no fatigue or back aches as a result of the seat.
Dan, you are fast!

I was happy with my C6 seats but after running Sparco's in my C5 I had a better understanding what our cars are capable of. I wanted something a little tighter and more shoulder support with nicer leather. But, did my mod for cosmetic reasons as well. I like to be different...

"Our only real problem with the interior is the flimsy feel of the seats and the shockingly short seat cushions. A Corvette must have great seats, even as just an option or something."

The seats are okay, but I would like better support, padding and leather.

They're fine. Not the best; certainly not the worst. A little better grade of leather would be nice.
At $45k-$60, you can't have the best of everything. These cars offer a LOT for the money!

To keep this on track, please post your own opinion of the original question.
Quoting other people's opinion defeats the purpose of this poll.
I spent a long time researching to come up with this poll and will examine the results scientifically after the poll is closed.

I'm actually fine with the seats. In addition to local weekend drives, work commutes and pleasure cruises I've put over 15,000 miles on the car across several 3,000 mile road trips and find the seats to be great on a long day of driving. Perhaps my small stature (5'8", 180lbs) plays a role but neither my wife nor I have had any discomfort on our trips. I've also had the car on a track and found that seat kept me in a comfortable driving position during agressive driving and turning.

I really have no major issues with the seats, can they be better sure, are they okay in my opinion yes.

I find them ok, in the same way the seats in a Malibu are 'ok'. They are fine and reasonably comfortable if all you want is a base seat to park your butt in for a long leisurely drive.
HOWEVER, calling the seats that come in the 2LT/3LT package 'sport seats' is a sad joke -- they're basically just a power version of the same old flat base seat with a lumbar bladder added.
*Real* "Sport Seats" should have some noticeable bolstering and maybe even done in some grippy fabric/alcantara.

IMO the Corvette seats are perfect for what they are designed for. Those that are unhappy with them are perhaps comparing these sports car seats with seats from another type of vehicle.
