I am seriously thinking about buying a 2LT/RS Camaro, and recently rented a 1LT for a day from AVIS to put it through its paces. I build 60's muscle cars for a hobby, and have built quite a few over the years. I have to say I am very impressed with how the car handled, and it took the mountain twists and turns like a pro, and got 25 mpg all the while I was driving it like I stole it.

I do have two questions and I hope someone can help with it.

Before anyone gets on my case, I really liked the car and want to get one bad, but I need to figure out these two issues first.

During the 24 hour test drive, and 300 miles later, I noticed that the seat cushion or lack thereof was getting to be uncomfortable, especially for the left leg. I am 6'1" and my wife is 5'11" and she had the same complaint. The car I rented was a 1LT with cloth seats, and the car that I am thinking of getting has Leather, is the seat cushion better with Leather than cloth?

The second question has to do with the head rest. When it is fully down it hits the base of my neck, making my head tilt forward, and the only way I can drive is with it fully up, which is a drag, has anyone had the same problem?

Thanks for your help,
