I suppose the wording of my thread might have caused confusion.

Just because the review was an Avantgarde that must NOT put any one off from voting.

The seating, carpets, dials, wheels, tyres?? shape and engine are all the same World-wide.

It is just unfortunate that the US and most of Europe have decided to put the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Please, please vote, don't be a couch potato. Are your seats comfortable?

Regards to you all,
John

I guess if we were jousting, putting the steering wheel on the right side of my horse would make sense! ...My saddle is most comfortable.

Hi Barry,
You 'joust' of course

In the UK we are Knights of the road

I needed the votes

As usual so far it looks like, owners 12, journalist's 0...

Thanks every one and keep the votes coming.
John

I LOVE my seats! I drive 600-1000 miles per week and I am always comfortable with a thousand ways to adject, active ventillation/heating, massage and dynamic seat adjustments. I also like the driving position and the ease of reach which makes everything that much better. They are nothing short of incredible.

I used to have an '02 525i and every single time I drove a long distance my back was killing me due to no lumbar support. Also, my wife has an RX330 which I sometimes borrow and I can't get comfortable. There is no bucket or side support.

Cudo's on the seats Mercedes!

By the way glojo, I think your spedo might be incorrect (KM vs. MPH )
