Hi all,

Rob here, based in south east UK.

I'm looking to get into ownership and doing research on various topics. One of the questions I have is around that of seats being adjustable. I think the 500L model had adjustable seats, as in seat back for rake / angle, does the 500R also have?

My thanks.

As far as I am aware, the L model was the only model to sport the reclinable seat.

Axel Gerstle do a seat, called a "Sport comfort seat" which DOES recline---they fit straight onto the standard 500 runners. I have them in my car (they came with it) are they are quite comfortable (as long as you aren't too 'wide'!)

The 500R does not come stock with adjustable seats.

Fiat 126 seats have the same runners as 500 seats so they are a direct swop. They have a more robust mechanical reclining mechanism rather than the rubber band version and a little more padding for comfort. I have a pair of front seats here going spare that also have the option of headrests.

Thanks for all the responses. Looks like I'm in the right place for all things 500
