Sport Hybrid Advance vs gas Advance seats
My wife and I test drove both the Sport Hybrid Advance and a regular gas Advance yesterday. She noticed that the seats, although they look the same, felt very differently between the two. The hybrid's seats were much more dense while the regular advance were much softer. You sank into the regular while you sat on top of the hybrid's. It is very noticeable going back and forth after she pointed it out.
Has anyone else noticed this before? There is nothing in the specs to suggest the hybrid has different seats.
I would like to get the hybrid, but the seat difference is making us rule that out.

I drove both back to back before buying the Hybrid, I did not note any difference in the Advance seats on the gas vs the hybrid, neither did my wife who also drove both. We love the Advance seats in the Hybrid and along with the superior power and the much better 7 speed dual clutch it was an easy choice to buy the Hybrid. The 9 speed was just too clunky for either of us.

There are no listed model differences in the seats.
