But they are not though. Go sit in it and then u can say that. The si seats are cushioned much better than most cars out there. Support is great and much more comfortable than the ctr seats if you are daily driving the car. Getting in and out is much better than the ctr seats by far. Ofcourse the ctr seats are superior in many ways doesn’t just justify that the si seats are poo.

My brothers with STI are jealous due to sitting in my si seats because the STI’S all around bolsters are not even close to supporting the driver. Now with the CTR seats, they’re envious on why such a car like the STI, does not have a lovely bucket seat.

both seats are good.

I didn't say anything about the comfort of them, I said they were ugly. I've sat in them and they are comfortable, but I stand by my statement that they look like butt.

Only reason they’re physically unattractive is because of the cloth they’re on. If they were made with more love and better material its a beautiful seat.

Agree to disagree on this, I think the shape on the upper portion looks weird. There isn't enough definition from the shoulder area into the head rest area. The design looks like there should be holes similar to the CTR seats, but there isn't so you end up with this awkwardly tall looking seat.

I daily drive my CTR and actually like the seats. In the turns, it keeps you firmly in the seat and my back doesn't hurt after 45 min - 1 hr each way to work. It gets awkward when you have to get in and out of the car, especially when you are giving someone a ride and they are not expecting it. If we go to any formal events, we have to take my girlfriend's car because she refuses to wear a dress and attempt to get in and out of the CTR.

Same here, wife doesn't like getting in and out because the bolsters poke her in the mmmmm you know. So oh darn, I'm by myself when I drive it....
She will ride in the CTR occasionally, just to prove she can do it..

^LOL I was thinking the same thing!

I actually really like those Si seats. However, if I were to install them in my CTR, I'd have to customize them a bit. Seeing the Si badge would drive me crazy.
