Manual Sport Seats
I'm in a pinch, having last minute thoughts to change my base no-line order to a sportline. I'm a little concerned about the sport seats and adjustability. I am not getting premium package.
Does anyone know of the manual non-power sport seats have adjustable bolsters for your back? Is it power or manual? |

The standard seats were a huge let down, so much so that my heart actually sunk when I sat in them. Get 'em and don't worry about it being manual! Hey, if you can stretch for the Sport, go for it, but remember the SE is still great so don't bankrupt yourself over it! As the others have said, the side bolsters are still electric.

Seats are very subjective - people are built so differently. I have the sport seats and don't miss the lumbar support adjustment - the way they are built is fine for me. I find the seats to be very supportive and comfortable.
The only thing I do wish is that the driver's seat would go up another 3/4 of an inch. I am 5'8". I like to sit high, as I can do in my MB's. It is not bad - just a slight thing. |

You are right, I stand corrected. Although I've never seen a manual sports seat with lumbar support, it can be ordered.

Thanks!! I understand that the manual sport seats in a non-premium pkg car will still have electric side bolsters to adjust the width of the side bolsters. There will not be lumbar support unless I get the premium pkg. thanks!!!! (now I just have to get comfortable with the red stitching!)

I'm with you on the red stitching. I love the red on the dash, the steering wheel, the doors, wherever else it may be, but on the seats I simply do not like it. Maybe it's something you get used to, but I'm awfully tempted to get Everest Grey seats on my sport line. I think the lighter colored sport seats look pretty unique.

I dont see any option for the lumbar support. Is it standard with the sports seats or something? Im going manual BTW, as I only adjust my seat very rarely and my wife never drives my cars.
