......Aero seats have no adjustably and imho are incredibly uncomfortable. ......
The Aero seats in my 2014 Plus 8 have a limited range of adjustment for the seat back angle as well as for and aft, but of course nothing else. And the BMW steering column is adjustable for both angle and distance....but not by much. But they are VERY comfortable, far more so than those on the 2009 Roadster. But I suspect that to get comfortable the driver needs to be between 5' 7" and 5'10", reasonably slim hipped and not build like a prop forward.....  I need to get the seat position "just so" to prevent right hip bursitis and I'd like the front anti submarine roll a bit smaller and the seat base a bit firmer. I agree that the seats are not the best, but I'm sure are made to a price. After 29000 miles and many, many drivers the driver's seat right side bolster is showing wear and the seat base is a bit soft. I feel that re-upholstery cannot be so far away.

When I drove the new aero 8 I did think that I'd sat on more comfortable church pews!!! I appreciate that the 'sporty' nature of the car may require a firm, supportive seat, that holds you in position but it is possible to get that amount of control without the kidney damage!!!

Have to say my, optional, sports seats are brilliant. Adjustable for rake and lumber support they are both supportive and comfortable Took me about 3 months to get them how I wanted them, Obviously a slow learner!

The reclinable sports seats in our car are quite comfortable. Of all the cars I have owned in recent years they are the most comfortable.  occasionally suffers from a bad back nothing to do with the Morgan) and we may try a little more cushioning in the lumbar area. Easily done as the back section is not attached to the sides and you can slip something in behind.

I have a bad back just come out of hospital!
I find the four seater seat very comfortable as the sitting position and pedals and wheel are in line.
Many cars have pedals and steering wheel at angles and I can't drive them far.
I am 6'3" so I have moved the seat mount back as far as it will go.
I have adjustable AVO's on the back and Suplex on the front and the ride is excellent.
The four seater sitting position is higher and the wider door makes it more comfortable than the 2 seaters I have had.
