IMHO Comfort seats are better - unless you are wide-bottomed or have had back surgery -

the lateral support is just incredible - they just squeeze you in and the lumbar support is excellent -

I can't imagine a better seat out there - definitely worth the money..

As we see here some like Sport- and others like Comfort Seats.

Maybe you should test drive them and find out which ones you prefere.

I got the Standard ones and I'm happy even with them.

I test drove a 545 with comfort seats and they were amazing. I immediately added premium package to my order, even though I already had the sport seats coming with the M sport package. As Canada545 said, in Canada we get comfort seats with the premium package. I hadn't intended on getting it but once I tried the comfort seats it was a no brainer! Good luck.

Both standard and sport seats got M(arginal) rating for rear-end collision. Commfort seats got G(ood). The main problem with sport seats is the stupid head-rest that does not tilt forward. They aren't very sporty either. Comfort seats on the other hand have adjustable bolsters, seat back width, backrest and head rest. Do youself a favor, get comfort seats.

Thanks SergeyM for the solid recommendation. I'm going to the dealer next week to test out the comfort seats.

Definitely take the time to drive both.

I test drove the sport seats and honestly thought they were fine. However, getting in and out of the car was not as comfortable as I liked.

Test drove with the comfort seats and I was sold.
