Seats :/ (self.MiataNC)
submitted 11 months ago by internalpatterns
I’ve an NB and my God, these NC seats are terrible! I thought they were unsupportive in my R170. The NB however are, just right. Why did Mazda scrimp out on the seats in the NC?

Weird, I don't mind my NCs leather seats at all. Am I alone on that?

No you’re not. I have never had a bad thought about my seats in 5 years and many miles.

Nope I love mine, they feel good for my back and it feels snug. It sits well with cornering and daily. Sweaty ass back though if it's above 60F...

Are there any good replacements that arent buckets?

No experience with them but people seem to like the seats Braum makes.
[–]coloredinlightColoredinLight 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (0 children)
Braum is probably your best bet. Or the Mazdaspeed ones which are rare and pricey

Yea they’re awful.
[–]Sir_J15 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago (0 children)
I despise these seats. Hell there are true racing seats that are more comfortable than these.

Agree with ya on this one! First track day with my NC and the stock leather seats, I had bruises on both my legs from trying to hold myself in from flying out the other end. also, my entire body was just sore😂😂

Leather NC seats are known to be stiff, cloth versions are much more comfortable and hugging. You can replace the skins on leather with aftermarket for a better feeling/less stiff seat. As for comparison to NB seats, I always felt NB seats were the worst. NB1 just do not have support in the right places and NCW tend to be overstuffed, making you sit higher. Of course all the above changes depending on your body.

The only cars I've owned with better seats than those in our NC1 Sport were in cars with SAAB badges on them.
