Are the leather seats harder/less comfortable? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just got my leather in!

Can't wait to install... just gotta swap headrests so there isn't an "SS" on them.

Put it this way: I thought I could go without the leather seats until I actually sat in them.

Enough said.

Compared to the seats in thet 350z I had before my SS these are extremely comfortable. The only thing I miss from the Z was the side bostering accually held you in better where these are a little wider so I shift around a bit in the corners.

I love my seats, since the day I got them, I could sleep in my car

The leather in my SS is more supportive than my Challenger was, and more comfortable than in our Bullitt. No wear marks yet. I've owned it one year and have about 5000 miles on it.

This!

Leather is definitely the way to go.

We went on a 3200 mile road trip a few weeks ago and the leather seats were very comfortable.

The leather seats in the Camaro are the most comfortable seats I have ever experienced (driven some of the best). You can drive 6 hours non-stop and feel great once you arrive to your destination.

Picking my 2LT up today, can't wait to feel the leather after all these comments!

Don't be shocked if they feel terrible when you first get in. You will definitely have to adjust them first.

I drive my 2SS/RS every week to Colorado and back to Utah. It's an 8 hr drive one way and I've never complained about the seats being uncomfortable. I really like the leather seats in my Camaro.

I'm happy with mine, but I realize seat comfort is pretty subjective because everyone's got a different body shape/height/weight. The quality of the plasticized leather is okay, not stellar. It's more of a cruising seat than a performance driving seat. Not a bad compromise at all.

I'm a little spoiled because I've been ruined by leather Recaros in both the B6 and B7 Audi S4's, but those cars cost significantly more than my SS. They're a bit more adjustable, bigger side bolsters, an adjustable extension to support the underside of your legs, etc.

Then again, if I had to pick "most comfortable" seat, I'd be pointing at the heated/cooled leather buckets they put in the Tahoe/Burb...

I just switched from a BMW 330 which had amazing sport seats to a 2SS and I was pleasantly surprised by the camaro leather seats.

Im 6'3" and the seat back seems the perfect height for me. The seat is well padded and the lumbar support is in the perfect place.

My car only has 700 miles so I cant comment about how the leather holds up.

Huh? Leather seats of course.
