Any comfort issues with the sport seats?
I am changing my order to the sport seats, but before that is 'final', are there any fit or comfort issues folks have had here? I'm avg size and weight... Most driving is 1hr or less, but we may use it for longer drives (like 6hr to Maine). Can the sport seats be comfortable over such long drives?
Anyone have a chance to drive sport seats and the regular active bolster seats? Any sense of preference? Is the active seat with massage something I should keep?
I appreciate any views here... cheers

I was lucky enough to sit in both before I ordered mine . Sports seat are much more supportive for spirited driving. The felt great compared to my 14' seats

I’ve sat in E63S’ with both active massage and AMG Performance seats. I liked them both a lot. I generally do not care for active bolsters. If it were me I would lean toward the performance seats because I have them in my C63 and I love the way they look and feel beyond just test drives.

Advantage of the standard seats:
1. Moving side bolsters with turns.
2. Massage feature
3. Comfort
Sports seats look better. Have good support especially for performance driving.
Either a good choice. I personally like the standard seats because of the above for everyday driving.

I agree here as well, while less cushioned they are still plenty capable of providing comfort. I had the moving side bolsters on my SL63 and they were annoying; as if they were a few seconds late as I entered and exited turns.
