I didn't like the Adaptives
I had the adaptive SS in my old 997, but I did not like them much. I have the regular seats with full leather and power now, which I love.
Here are the cons of the adaptives, IMO:
Here are the cons of the adaptives, IMO:
- They have a cheap looking plastic backing, which also reduces space in the back seat (kind of important for me since my kid rides there sometimes)
- The side bolsters have small air bladders, and adjust only a little - as a result they always felt a little too enclosing and hot for me. They made the interior feel smaller.
- The standard seats are great to slip in and out of easily, and they are just as comfortable. They have adequate support for street driving.
- Neither seat is good for track. The head rest is high and tilts forward a little, which interferes with a helmet. A racing seat would be much better.
