One factor you may want to consider that I seldom see mentioned in connection with the comfort seats is the "active headrest" feature, which I believe is unique to this seat. Apparently, the headrests move up and forward if your vehicle is struck from behind. I have no idea how effective this is.

If your passenger seat gets a variety of occupants, you may also want to consider the usefulness of the passenger seat memory feature included with comfort seats.

It boils down to perceived comfort differences and the value you place on these added featues, versus the $1200 cost plus the lack of credit for deleting the sport seats.

I agree, the $1200 cost with out credit for deleting the sports seats is bogus. Beside's the fact they probably don't get double billed for it in Europe.

I thought Prem was standard. Guess not. You shuold get logic 7. The standard system doesnt go very loud. You will already get sports seat so i dont think it will be necessary. You have pretty good seat already.

I think at $1200 it's a no-brainer. Get them

I had to think a little harder at ?1350! But I still went for them

Comfort seats are great. If you have the sport pack and you are a bigger guy the sport seats will not be confortable. When changing to my 2005 I added sport pack and comfort seats. They go hand in hand.

Another vote for comfort seats being absolutely amazing. Either Road&Track or Car&Driver called them the best car seat on the planet, and I think they are right. If one drives for any more than a half-hour at a time, the difference is night-and-day. With the adjustable bolsters the comfort seats have, you don't lose anything (imo) by not having Sport seats.
