Does anyone know if they changed the sport seats in the 2010 XS? I heard they are a little different than the 2009 XS seats and better suited to Americans. Its a little late for me to get an Xs, since my car will be 1 year old in a month, but I was just curious.

 

They feel exactly the same as 2008/2009 xs seats. Only difference is we (2010s) lost power lumbar. cost cutting in the wrong places....

 

really? is this only in the sedan? my 2010 coupe has power everything except thigh extension...which was always manal

 

the 2009 had power lumbar?!?!?! oh man! I can't believe my sales guy didn't even mention that. That's actually something I pointed out to him that I wish the seat had lumbar. I even asked if there was any way to add power lumbar (besides getting new seats). I REALLY want power lumbar..I just can't get the adjustability I need with this.

Overall, I love the sport seats though, SO much more than the regular ones.

Thanks.

 

Yup, 08-09 had power lumbars. My previous car (2006 g35x) had reclining rear seats. Infiniti is wierd.

And about sport seats. I am 5'11' and 170lbs and they are at the limit of being too tight on the thighs part. Seats have a metal brace in them (why?) and are a little bit too much for my taste. Sport seats are definitely a step up above regular seats.

But in my opinion there are only two companies that got sport seats right in a sedan. BMW (3series, 5series contour seats (best seats I ever seen)), and Recaro seats (Audi S4, Cadillac CTS-V)

 

Thanks for the info. I'll have to look into something to do about it.

I have the sport seats and I'm 5'6" 160lbs. I actually have them pretty tight, too, and I love it. Interesting.

 

I'm 6'0" 195lbs and the sport seats fit me quite comfortably. I think it depends on how you carry your weight. I use the air bladders to tighten up the side support on the back and leg part of the seat.
