I've always found the sport seats to be very comfortable, but it probably depends on how your body is built. I was fine driving down to Ken's house and back in one day, just exhausted. (took about 7.5 hours speeding like a bat out of hell, 565 miles round trip).

I don't have a sport seat I have a Recaro SE like pictured.
I was just wondering if it had anything to do with the leg room or something. I drive with my left arm on the top of the door against the window and my right on my leg or shifter. I don't lean.
Also I keep my wallet in my front pocket. Maybe its just related to riding a small bike.
Sold it.

Yeah I find my sports uncomfortable too. My lower back gets soar and stiff after 2+ hour trips... Then again I hate sitting for that long anyway. My chick hates long tips in this car too for the same reason... I use my car 98% of the time for short 1/2 hour or less trips so it's not a daily problem.

Done one 1900 mile trip from L.A. and 5 1400 mile round trips to Laredo (700 day one 700 day two) and the seats are perfect only issue is right knee gets a little sore.

i never had a problem with the e30 sport seats, loved them in my m3 and i did some 1500 mile trips, and constant traveling in the summers. The seats in my e36 made my back a bit sore on a few really long road trips last summer, even after some adjustments. But, for around town, i think the e36 seats are way more comfortable. I'm 6'4" 255 so the bigger seats in the e36 help quite a bit for fitment.... i SQUEEZE into the srd's in the e30. But the cloth SRD's are the most comfortable/supportive seats i've ever driven in when you're really goin after it, love em..... i've been told to stretch out your hip flexor before a really long road trip, it takes the tension off your back and you won't have as much discomfort while driving.....PNW Crew

I almost always take mine out when driving, unless I'm going down to the store or something.

When driving for a long distance the seat should be leaned front at least on the sport seat
normal seats are designed just like that with the front part of the seat tilted low
I have sat in regular seats for very extendec times and never ever felt anypain or discomfort
with my sports I have had a small problem if I have not adjusted the seat correctlyGunni
