Are the C63 Performance seats the same as the A45?

Just trying to decide between a C63 and a C63S and various options, and performance seats have come to mind. The demonstrator C63 I've got at the moment has standard sports seats. I went to my local dealer and they've got an A45 AMG on the lot and I tried those seats and wanted to know if they are the same or different than the ones that would be in the C63S?

Best wishes
James

I've had an A45 and now have the C63S, both with the performance seats. They are very similar except the C63 seats have more adjustment options (leg extender for example). The C63 appear more comfortable, but this may be down to the better quality leather used...

They look the same but as g5und said, there are more adjustment options, and the use of nappa leather makes them feel much more comfortable.

The A45 ones I tried were very deep and snug; even with the buckets spread I found them a bit compact but not uncomfortable. But I occasionally need to put a child seat in the front of the car and I think that might cause problems, I think I'll end up with the sports seats which I have in this demonstrator as they are great and I have been able to try them with the kids.

Would be an expensive mistake!
