the sport seats are so contoured they make it more effort to fold them down and they don't go as flat.

PITA for usefulness but they are really comfortableimo. i ahve had mine for 17 months and look like new although you have to be really careful with egress otherwise the side bolsters will crease quickly.

 

I have the sport seats in my GTS. ~10k miles, mixed between DD duties and 3-4 long road trips.

They're holding up very well, but I use a seat cover from Seat Shield when I'm sweaty or dirty. Works well coming back from a hike, outdoor training, workouts with my pups, etc. Keeps the seats smelling fresh and looking clean.

I keep it rolled up in the cubby on the driver's side in the cargo area. Wash every 3-4 uses (weekly or more). I also keep one in the wife's car, since she's a marathoner.

The sport seats are tight, but at 5'9" and 210lbs with an athletic build, they're fine for me. The bolsters are a bit narrow, but I find that in any seat with high bolsters. Slimmer builds will be more comfortable, but I've done 550 miles in a day without too much complaining

When I was in NC 2 weeks ago, I let my friend shuttle me around in my GTS. He's 6'5" and around 230lbs with an average build. He had no issues with it and said the driving position was comfortable.
