S60 D5 Sport seats

woblynne · Feb 20th, 2011, 20:11

Hi all, I'm looking to take the plunge on an S60 D5 and I am considering an SE or an SE sport (approx 05-57 plate).

I have heard good things about the seats in the S60 but I don't know if they are the same throughout the range i.e if I decide on an SE Sport are the seats going to lose some of the comfort compared to the standard SE to fit in with the 'sport' title?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks
Mark

I'm not an authority on it, but I believe the seats are the same with different trim. The Sport had a rubber-threaded (non-slip) textile bit plus leather. Not sure about SE Sport though. I think this option came about 2006 but I guess the seat trim would depend on the customer order.

I've got a 54 plate Sport, not SE Sport.
The front seats I think are a fairly standard shape just different trim, the real noticable bit is the rear seat which has two buckets with a big hump for the middle seat (no, not the fold down armrest). Makes that middle seat in the rear a pretty uncomfortable place to be (more 40/20/40 layout) and makes the car a four rather than five seater though there are five seatbelts.
The hump in the floor doesn't help either but you get that with all models.
