I only went in and out in less than 2 mins. Maybe I just didn't notice it.

I haven't noticed any difference in the front seat bottoms in my 19 versus my 15. They remain the best seats I've ever had in a car.

Yea I feel ok with the bottom part of my seat and to me the big difference between my 14 and 19 GS is the back part. On my 14 I can't even last more than 1hr of driving before having to get out and stretch my back due to a bad back pain but on the 19 I can drive for more than 2-3 hours without back pain. I think this is why they slightly redesigned the seat backs for 16-19 MY GS. Same with the RC's seats, they're great for long drives too.

I definitely agree that the seat backs are different on the refreshed models. And like you, I see them as an improvement.

One of the main reasons I bought my 18 was the extended thigh support on drivers seat. Too many cars today lack thigh support, it's like sitting on a bar stool to me.

Well, my '15 is the most comfortable (long) drive car I've ever had. Def better then my '16 ES. Haven't had much drive time in anything newer though.

I lasted less than 5,000 miles on the OEM Sport Maxx tires; very rough ride and loud. Changed to the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus and 25,000 miles later I couldn't be happier!!

9000 miles on my Dunlops and can't complain too much other than a little road noise. I'll replace with Michelins when the time comes.
