Hi Guys,

I did a serch on this topic, but came up with nothing, so I hope someone can help me out with this information.

First off, let me explain why I care so much about the passenger seat.

I am yet another newbie in search of the best NSX I can afford. I think I made the mistake of taking a 2000 NSX-T for my first test drive in an NSX. I really, really, really, really loved it, but I just can't afford a $65K 2000 NSX. My wife loved the car too, especially the comfort of the passenger seat.

Well after that we went looking down the other end of the NSX price spectrum, at a 91 model. Well the wife got in the passenger side and..."Hey this seat is narrow and not as comfortable as the 2000 model, I don't like this one."

So being the nice guy I am, and to keep her on board with me getting an NSX, I would like to get an NSX with the passenger seat that will both of us happy.

So... does anyone know when the passenger seat got an increase in width?

Thanks
 
I think its because the leather became harder.. The dimensions of the seat havent changed over the years besides they changed the center cushion part into the "holed" leather.. 2000 NSX. I bet the leather is still soft and new..
 
BostonNSX is right. It's the same size it has always been.

Is it possible the '91 you drove had an aftermarket seat?

I too thought all the seats were the same size. I love the feel of the OEM ones. Fits me very well, then again I am a small person too.

Ditto that. OEM seats are awesome. It is nice to know that the shape of the stock seats mimic the design of the "sports seats" that other high-end car manufacturers offer as an ultra-expensive option.

Regards.
