While employed as a test driver 2000-2003 I drove new Porsches weekly, as well as virtually every new vehicle available in the U.S. Being average height & weight (5'10" 175 lbs) Porsche seats fit me very well & I enjoyed driving from Dallas to L.A in 1 day with only a 1 hour break in Phoenix. (22 hours) I once drove from LA to North Las Vegas in a 03 C4S with supple seat option where I exchanged it for a Turbo with standard full leather seat & drove back nonstop to Buttonwillow raceway for the Road&Track best handling car competion. The supple seats are slightly softer & more comfortable. Also got to drive Stefanie Powers mint original 1986 Turbo look optioned 911 with perfectly broken in oem seats. I was amazed at how comfortable & wear free the seats were at 16K miles. The leather quality seemed far superior to new Turbo seats & seemed like they would last forever with Stefanie at the wheel.
