Good review, just wish it was a bit longer. The C&D review is good overall, hopefully the other mags come up with some stuff for the February (in Jan) issue.

The cloth seat are very grippy. They are better and more supportive than you think when you first sit in them. I find the seats essentially disappear after a few minutes as you focus on the rest of the drive.

Thanks GTgray.........the only thing I dislike about favric seats is that....well stains.....and the ever present electric shock you get when you get out of the car.....least that happens with me....perhaps I just conduct electricity better.

I concur with GTGray, the seats are grippy and better bolstered than the ones in the Pro5. I find the seats thus far a bit better than the Pro5, especially in the upper side bolsters (above the kidney). The height adjustment is a dream come true. I'm sure I'll have to spend some time getting my position just right, but with the seats and the steering wheel I should be able to tailor it just right.

As far as the review goes, no sorry, they don't have it up online yet. It is in the current C&D on newstands now though.
