They are comfy, IMO. I had them for ~ 2hours at LAPEC, no issues with comfort.
I needed the backseats so I had no choice, but to spec sofas.
I will say, they (buckets) can be tricky for getting in and out, much more so than sofas.

Has anyone had a problem with the data connection in their T quitting? Mine worked fine until the end of the 3 month trial period when I switched it over to my AT&T plan and then it just quit. Everything else in the PCM works ok, including WiFi, just no data connection. AT&T worked on the issue at the second level of tech support and decided something was not right with the car. The car has been at the dealer for several days but so far no success. The PCM screen that controls turning data on or off (Phone screen, Opt, Phone, Data) indicates that data is turned on via the embedded SIM, however that selection is not highlighted and therefore cannot be used to turn data off or on. It appears that a PCM reboot is necessary but I believe the dealer already tried that with no success. I'm going into the dealer this week to work with them on the problem but was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so was it resolved?

Took a quick trip up to St. George to see my Mom for Mothers day. The wife went with me and it ended up being a good trip! I know we dont buy these cars for the gas mileage but over 245 miles it did over 29MPG! So great!
My wife did complain a little about the wind noise and LWBS. She is more of a comfort person than I am but after spending a total of three and a half hours in the seats she had little to complain about. Once you get in them they are not bad at all. I would not have any problem spending a full day in them but I think my wife would disagree. Here's a shot from my Mom's house and the trip results. Man I love this car!!!

LWBS...
For me the LWBs are incredibly comfortable and supportive seats. But that’s after you get in them. You won’t want to be hopping in/out of LWBs. It takes a little bit of levitation.

Side note I went to a PCA event this weekend (NNJR PCA Driving Clinic) and the Lava T got lots of waves, thumbs ups, and shout outs. Really happy with the color. Makes me smile every time I get in it and every time I see it parked. And it was the only T there! GT3s, GT2s, and Turbos, but only 1 T.

can only speak to my personal experience but I didn't tire from the seating position/stiffness/"lowness" of the seat
The only thing I had to do was add a bit of lumbar support by putting a folded hand towel between the alcantara seat insert and the actual CF seat frame which was a good tip from someone else here on RL. They look absolutely beautiful, but getting in and out can be tricky especially if you cannot open your door fully then it's tough
It's very subjective, some hate them some love them so highly encourage you to sit in them if not get seat time as a passenger in a LWBS equipped car before committing either way

These also helps on comfort by reclining more. I like my LWB, no issue on long trip.

They totally are. Once you are in them it's time to rock and roll. But if you are daily driving the car, perhaps with a suit on or something then they're not the best. I too want access to the back seats (the NA versions do not tint forward vs. the Euro LWBS), not for passengers but for easy storage. I may remove the seats and instal the Suncoast OEM seat-delete carpets. Then I'll have the best of both worlds.

Will give my 2 cents on LWBS. For me they are comfortable for most drives under 2 hours. More than that and I get a little sore. Same with my wife. Its really not lack of cushion for larger driver like me its literally constant pressure from side bolsters on my hips. ...I know lose weight! I think funny thing is getting in and out isnt an issue for me. I read about people saying its tough etc. Didnt get it until I saw my wife getting out of LWBS. She struggles. Shorter people definitely have more trouble getting out of the LWBS. Taller just swing their leg out and step out like i do making it easy. I think shorter people cant get foot planted outside car and dont have as much leverage to lift themselves out of the seat.

Thanks to all for chiming in on LWBS. I have narrowed my search to a few existing T builds available. Not an ideal way to buy a 100K+ car but, too late to order. With each of the builds available, there are things I love and things I don't. It's got to be a manual and I really want rear axle steering. White, silver or black would be my color choices along with the 18 way seats. My top contender has the LWBS but, I worry about the access to the rear space which I love with no back seats. I know the LWBS do not tilt so, how limited is access? Finally, how feasible is it to buy another set of seats and retrofit depending on which seats I want to use depending on how I will be driving the car? Is the wiring harness still in the car where I could hook up the 18 ways or with the LWBS, is there just no harness at all present. I know I am asking lots of questions and as always, I really appreciate the feed back. Thanks in advance.
