I can only give my opinion on the leather seats in my '07 GT. They're okay, but the most I have driven in one day is about 250 miles. They are not what I would call super comfortable, but they are not uncomfortable.

The seats I have are perforated. I think that V6 leather was not perforated, while GT leather was. Whether the perforated leather actually makes a difference in the ability of the leather to breathe and aid in comfort, I don't know.

They are very comfortable up until about 5 hours in the car when the *** region starts feeling flat and hard, but that's probably just my ***. They have great lumbar support for when my back starts to hurt. Go for it if they fit.

Lumbar is pretty awesome, just because if I get really bored I can hit the button and it starts to feel like a massage chair lolol. The *** area is flat, although the cushioning is actually pretty good compared to my old camry.

For the flat *** pain I also get, I just tilt the seat backwards and elevate it a little to compensate and BOOM, my *** is no longer taking the weight- and thus I don't feel like I'm gonna poop out a baby when I get down...

^ lol. Well anything will feel better than 15 year old seats with 149,000 miles on them. I already checked and they will fit. I can even wire them up to work being I have the pigtails in place already.

Oh I will. I hope not to run into toooo much problems getting them in. I was told they sit alittle lower so I have to add washers, or threaded nuts (3/8s IIRC) to them to make they sit alittle higher.
