Jeremy Clarkson just about gave the worst criticism of GT3 seats ever, it seems, that he'd rather be dragged behind the car or something. He loved the GT3 he drove a while ago, but in the RS supposedly the seats suck, but they look just like the regular GT3 seats.

Clarkson comparison - GT3RS/360CS

Hmm I seem to like them. I mean they hold me in really well and I don't move around, which is the point of them.

Are they cushy like Mercedes seats? Hell no... Are they comfy for large people? No. Are they comfy for tall people? No...

no

Clarkson is a hoe-bag and all his opinions should be considered void.

It's an overexaggeration like everything else that leaves Jeremy Clarkson's mouth. With that said, they aren't the most comfortable seats, but far from anything that would give you chronic back pains.

Also Clarkson has on many an occasion stated his personal dislike of Porsche's so take his opinions for what they're worth... He likes Italian cars and English cars but hates anything German and/or American....

doesn't hate American anymore! He's buying a Ford GT and the way he talks about it, no other car comes even CLOSE.

i love the GT3 seats. probably the best i have sat in. Clarkson is entertaining but definitely should not be listened to for any reason.

Does anyone have a link to their review of the standard GT3? He mentions in there that they reviewed it in the past and loved it.

Honestly, I'd listen to him before I started to listen to any of you.

That scrawny little kid who looks like Ryan Seacrest was the one who reviewed the standard GT3. I have it on my harddrive, can send it through America Online Instant Messenger or MSN Messenger. Or if anyone wants to host it, PM me I guess.

I'm 5' 9" and about 130, and I found the GT3 seats comfy enough (I only sat in them for 30 seconds, though). I found the Carrera GT's seats more comfortable, though.

well I'm 6'2", up to 202 now that I'm consistently hitting the gym every couple of days, and almost all torso - short legs. Wonder if it will be a problem...too bad you can't do a long term test.
