Default 2011 Turbo S Sport Seat Question

Going to look at a 2011 Turbo S tomorrow. The only thing I am unsure of is the suitability of the manual leather sport seats in a daily driver. Does anybody have experience with these seats?

Thanks!

I have them in my 11 GTS and I'm happy with them and I have a bit of a sensitive back.

I take manual seats over power ones any day for simplicity and weight savings. Adjusting the seat is an easy task and once you set it, it stays constant most of the times anyway.

I have sport seats (GT2 Sport Bucket Seats that accecpt a 6 point harness) in my Carrera GTS. If you are under 6'2" they are perfect...awesome...never heard a complaint other than a little hard to get out of but that is cool because they hold you in the car so well. I'm 6'5" so I'm a little cramped but they fit and are perfect for the track events I do.

Hate the comfort seats. Took them out and installed the sports seats. You aren't talking buckets, right?

Perfectly fine for DD. I don't think u could do it if u weigh 180-200+
