Over the weekend I had the pleasure (if one can call it that) of driving a family relative's rented Pontiac Grand Prix. After a futile attempt to get comfortable in the GP's driver seat, I believe I said, "These seats are garbage."
In contrast, I happen to be quite fond of the seats in our long-term 2006 Honda Civic Si. Despite a lack of fancy adjustments, they're supportive during cornering and comfortable on long-distance drives. True, seat comfort is highly subjective...
Someone of large size might find the Civic's side bolsters to be too intrusive, for instance. For me, though, the time in the Grand Prix was just further affirmation of our Civic Si's high level of overall quality.

This new civic looks as comfortable as you described,
And I completely agree with you, the GP's seats feel like a medieval torture rack.Oh and one question-
How bad is the torque steer on the SI?
