Yes those of us with a 2 foot beam don't like sitting on the bolsters rather than in them.

They have a couple of very nice bicycles in the Stockport showroom, they could be the answer :D :D

Amusing to hear all the different views we have on seats. I had 18way in the SD and loved them, but the bolster on the door side did look slightly sad from my fat arse catching it on the way in and out, as I'm a tad too short for easy access. But I've a serious back issue, which decides the seats for me, and the GTS ride height helps me with the near half inch drop of the seat base. Essentially I need a tall car for entry and egress even though I'm only 1.78m as I can't bend down to get in low slung stuff these days. As for arse width in the seat, that's adjustable and I find them very comfortable.

Like many, I've driven a number of Macan loan cars with different seats in them. Whilst I don't drive like Max Verstappen too often, I do find the extra arse grip and lower body support of the 18ways helps keep my pain levels under control in ways the comfort seats simply don't.

Horses for courses, but going 18way again, and from our weekend demo use of the latest GTS with 18's we know it still works. I fair hustled it down some Welsh A roads and got out at the end feeling nearly human: bonus!
Best, Ade

My first Macan had 14 's for 5 years and the second has 18's for 15 months and I definitely found the14's were better for all the reasons stated above and on my new S I have 14's.
