Question

Re- new WRX options.

The safety concious angel says sports seats + airbags on my new Impreza while the fun devil says buckets.

Views sought.....

Have to agree...go for the buckets - far more comfortable, you dn't slide all over the place on the first corner you enter - oh and they look great as well!

Go for the buckets!
  • they are much better for going round bends - a lot of people have found the sports seats to have inadequate support and have ended up changing them.
  • the buckets will locate you better in a side impact hence you don't need the airbags.
  • given the type of owners attracted to the WRX secondhand, it is likely that bucket seats will give the car a higher resale value.
