New Seats in the 8?
Sorry if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find anything in my search.
Are they puting a new type seat in the 8? I saw this picture on eBay and it looks like it's a different seat. No grey plastic back.

Why has no one ever complained about the narrowness of the seats? I am not a fat guy, and knew when i bought the car, I was going to put up with this, but geez, any good German car or Volvo for that matter seems to have wider but bolstered seats. I dont think there is room for them if you put them in the Mazda though.

I have cloth seats and love them; the suede-like microfiber inserts with the ribbed cloth trim pieces make a great combination, but they are bland. I would like to see someone make a similiar feel material in two tone; like black/red. and keep the ribbed material that is in the trim. I dunno, just my preference.

rxtreme--the closest thing you could have done is get a suedeskin insert in different colors and maybe keep the existing cloth--I don't know how difficult this would be as it would require butchering the existing seat covers. You'd have to give Katzkin a call. www.autoleathers.com
