Does Porsche have the best seat choices?
I have always been impressed by Porsche's seat offerings but am curious how offerings from other car makers such as McLaren and Ferrari compare. Are these any better considering the panache of the brands?. Some good cars, like the Corvette seem to be notorious for crummy seats. Obviously it is hard for one seat to successfully fit all body types.

best?
they must offer seat size to be at least good
and have thrown away 4 14 18 seats, the ugliest on market
my BMW M4 competition seats are way better for less than half the price

The 458 has really great Daytona seats. I put 1000 Miles on them over 2 days and loved it. The Mclaren were ok but the material felt not so good. My R8 has great feel and by far the most comfortable but also the least helpful at speeds to keep your body in. Also the R8 material worn down quite quickly no matter how much you take care of it. I think porsche has the best quality / comfort / hold balance.

I personally find that all porsche sport seats have far too much lumbar intrusion for me, so I can barely crawl away from the car after only 30 minutes. I find my LWBS to be perfect. Comparable to Elise/Exige seats, but a bit more padded. Just a bit.
