RE: dynamic plus seats again...

Its a very hard choise because from what i know most dealers when trading back in a car dont really value the extras that we got when it was new Sad

RE: dynamic plus seats again...

I went for the plus not only for the additional comfort but also for the overall interior leather upgrade than what comes as standard with Dynamic. The other deciding factor was I did not like the fake leather dash that comes with the Dynamic, however Plus obviously upgrades this to the same standards (oxford soft leather) as the Prestige.

I agree it is costly, but if the Dynamic didn't come with perforated seats and a fake leather dash I probably would have not bothered with the upgrade.

If there was a better selection of colours other than just black or red, including maybe other interior trims or personalisation then I would definately say it's value for money, but none the less I still have gone for the upgrade.

I still have reservations based on a comment Tim mentioned in another thread saying there was 4" less leg room in the back with the Plus seats. I still will have to pop down to my dealers to compare the Plus and non Plus to put my mind at rest.

Not my comment Alex, I think it was CFJP.
Last week I had a 6ft2" tall rear seat passenger - even with my Plus style front seat right back at the end of the runner there was plenty of leg room according to the passenger - but it certainly didn't look like it! The Plus seat back is thicker for some reason but not 4" thicker.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: dynamic plus seats again...

The plus seats are very comfortable and they look great. I was wondering whether I had made the right choice at first and 100% believe that I have. All of my passengers have seemed to like them! The plus seats are also heated as there was a bit of a debate about whether they were or not!

RE: dynamic plus seats again...

How is the heating distributed on the seat?

In my current car it's just a single hot spot towards the rear end of the seat area (not sure on the technical name of this area but the place where your arse/buttocks sits!).

However with the Plus seats is the heat evenly distributed across the whole seated area, including back?

The back isn't heated which was a disappointment to me. The swab seems to be heated from the area you describe! 3 heat settings too.

RE: dynamic plus seats again...

I have both seat and back 3 stage heating in my standard Dynamics front seats, this was one of the 1st things my wife & I checked before driving away from the Dealership. I can't believe you don't get this as standard with the £3k upgrade seating!

That was my quote.
If you look at WhatCar? Magazine they did 2 comparisons RRE vs SUV's & RRE vs Coupes. Each with its own interior measurements. The Dynamic Plus seats appear to offer 4" less rear legroom compared to the Std Prestige seat.
