I really like those seats in the Stealth.

I've only sat in an RX7 out of these and it has very nice seats in my opinion. Duno if the others are any better.

It's a toss up between the Stealth and RX-7 but I think the 7's seat is something you can eventually sell to someone else after you're done using it.

I'm partial to the SVX...but only for the nostalgia. (I used to own one.)

Not really a problem, the local yard only charges $20 for bucket seats!

Holy cow, this is a great idea!

Stealth, because bucket seat. Get a Quattro if you have winter. Just make a switch for the heated seat.

use one with a manual slider/controls for easier ins and outs.

I like the rx7 seat. I have sim rig that uses a car seat as well. picked it off craigslist dirt cheap. really adds to the fun of sim racing or even screwing around on a game like forza. I was looking to swap my seat though for something more sporty/racy because im looking at adding to mine to add like a pvc pipe roll cage and a actual 5 point harness.

I'd go Rx7, it's all about the tan leather!

I think I need more furniture.

Heated seat! BRILLIANT!

Already there. No power seats, as you said: easier in and outs.

Plus that way I can let my friends and family drive on the rig, and get them hooked too.

That's just a gis photo, I'll go to the yard on an upcoming weekend and find out what colors I have to choose from. Tan would be great though!

Me too! I had no idea seats were so cheap at the local yard. When we get a house in the next year or so I'll pick up the front and back seats from something interesting and make a loveseat and chairs for the lounge area in the garage, ala Top Gear set.

Nah. They'd be ridiculously low in the 500, and neither would have side airbags.

I probably will have to redo my rig all over again. I took a Integra cloth bucket seat because of winter. I would do it with a heated seat this time!

I suppose I could go minimalist and find a 2CV seat:
