   I've got a 1.1L and to be honest the seats are pants. Are the seats in the VTR/VTS more supportive and comfortable and will they fit straight into my 1.1L beasty?

   VTR seats are pants tbh. VTS seats are better.
   
   Got in Toyah's car after owning my Clio a few week now though and her VTS seat's felt really hard compared lol.

   I'm guessing the mounting is the same but do you know? Didn't realise the vts & vtr had different seats...mind you I know naff all about saxo's as I've only just got one!

   I had pretty much this excact thread about 24 hours ago, I just ended up buying black half-leather VTR seats, they are 20 x better then my 1.1i shitty seats, for the front two, back bench, and doorcards for a nifty £50, decent buy, worth it tbh

   Must have been re-trimmed then because VTR seat's weren't half leather.
   
   106 and Saxo seats all use the same mounting brackets so they will all inter-change to whoever asked above.

   Oh right, Half leather was a quicker way of saying for leather around back and sides then lol, I'm sure its off a VTR? Might have been a vts, its all black with little coloured squares around it all...Ill put pics up later they're quite bucket'y compared to the standard 1.1s interior, and are really comfy!

    I got the 2003 VTR seats when I had my VTR, alot better than the 2000 VTR seats, more comfy and held me better for some reason. They were so good, id say I would consider selling my GTI Half Leathers to buy a set of VTR seats again imo

    It's not leather Plastic lol They're alright seats but they start to rock about after a while and the back rests are quite unstable after a few thousand miles. Same seats were in mine as standard.
    
    Not the worst seat's out there though.

    Oh right lol, looks and felt like leather so assumed it was aha...yeh ones I was gonna get off an older vtr seats felt like they were rocking a little, so went to a newer one and these seemed fine.. Either way I'm sure they are better then the crappy 1.1 interior! lol

    I'll admit, not ideal on long journey's. But mine weren't too bad. Depends on the type of travelling you do regular.
    
    But in the bend's there's nothing better

    the mk2 airbagged vts seats are the best saxo seats imo
    
    anythings better than 1.1/1.4 seats but vtr seats arent that great

    Cheers for all the feedback, looks like late VTS seats are the way to go. If they are airbagged presumably I won't be able to connect them anyway will I?
