Wow. this firmly plants my belief that Chevrolet, Mazda, Nissan, and other "sports car manufacturers" have GOT to set the 86 as the new "Standard".

Not only that, they better take their sweet time and develop something as good or somehow better!

All of them mention how good the seats are. I also thought they were very well designed. They hug you nicely and keep you firmly in place but they are actually pretty plush so they absorb vibrations and are easy to get in and out of. I wonder how the leather/Alcantara seats feel compared to the cloth.

Do we know how much the stock seats weigh?

Mm, although they're apparently amazingly ergonomic, i may switch to aftermarket seats that are around 25lbs. Although i have a feeling once i sit in the stock seats i'll change my mind.

The car have 7 airbags. Stock seats also include side airbags.
Might be nice to know if you are not aware of it and want to change it out.
