General Sabelt seats insight.

[The Pretender]

I have some questions about Sabelt seats in the 500/595/695.

Some say, they are to hard seated, they are to hight seated, they can be lowered, but still to high seated, they are to small seated, .....
So I need some general feedback over what people really think about having these Sabelt seats.

The bolsters will be subject to high wear levels as you slide in and out so extra expense 50K miles in the future. Very similar dimensions as the Panda 100 seats which I found to be the best car seat I have ever had. Im 6ft 1 1.83m and so lightweight most car seat have given me back trouble. I have not lived with Sabelt seats but have tried them on a decent test drive and found no issues to note. One hell of an expensive extra which would hike depreciation on a new car. Good to have on a used car though for the same reason.

Whether they're right for you will also depend on your frame size (i.e. you)
You might end up sitting on the bolsters instead of in between them.

As above - if you're big I'd go for leather standard seats. I have Sabelts in my Comp, had the car four years and done 30000 miles and they're holding up well, but i sit inbetween the bolsters.
Long journey - then you will find yourself breathing a sigh of relief when getting out for a motorway services pit stop after 2 or 3 hours.
