Does anybody here have pictures of their sport seats or regular seats? I'm trying to decide between the two.

Thanks!

 

I don't think photos will help you much. Go to a dealer and sit in each type, and see what you like. The standard seat has decent side bolstering, the sport seat doesn't increase the side bolsters too much, but it definitely provides more lateral support, which is why I selected it for my Clubman. I prefer sitting in a seat to sitting on a seat.

 

I agree, you won't be able to tell much from photos. The difference in the current models is not as drastic as on the earlier 02-04 MINI's in which the standard seats were pancake flat and the Sport seats looked and felt more like the current Standards.
For me the current Sport seats are a bit too tight.

 

I've pasted pictures of the non-sport seats (top) and sport seats (bottom). However, I agree with the posters above that you need to sit and them and feel them for yourself. A picture of a seat, whether it is in a car or in your living room, will not tell you how it feels or how comfortable it is.

 

I got sport seats on my '03 Cooper as they came highly recommended...so I just automatically did the same for my '07, although I'd probably have been happy either way as my MINI is a short distance commuter car. I do like the fit of sport seats though.

 

The sports seats arent very good for bigger people, They still hold you in well but it is very easy to squish certain parts of your anatomy.

 

Thanks for the pictures bdr127!

The reason I asked for some pictures is because I was not able to try out any standard seats.

I went to my local Mini dealership about 2 weeks ago for a test drive. I believe all the cars they had on the lot, about 10 or so, had sport seats. I loved the way the felt but I wanted to compare with regular, standard seats to get an idea of the difference.

Since I couldn't physically do that in person, I thought I'd ask if anybody hear at least had some pictures of what the standard seats looked like.

Thanks everyone for your input!
