Please can you people let me know what seat is better . I have ordered the lounge but now after looking on web site the gravity seams a more sporty and supportive seat.

The lounge just looks a bit wider and not so sporty.

Please help as need to tell dealer tomorrow.

ANy comments on the lounge please let me know

Thanks

No idea what "lounge" means in reference to the seats in a Countryman, so I can't help you sorry.

Try one of each? The dealer will have demonstrators with both. I like the lounge leather - it's more supportive than it looks. :)

For the above poster, this is Lounge:

And this is Gravity:

I ordered the lounge and am so excited... she arrives in 2 days. It is the best you can order from the factory. I have the utmost faith that it will be grand.

We switched to Lounge Leather after sitting in all of the seating options (including pleather). The above poster is correct saying that the LL is more supportive than one might expect. And although we've only been sitting on LL for a month, we both notice that seat structure seems to molding to our..er...shapes.

I have faced the fact that I would rather have the supportive comfort of the LL for my traveling car. I'll leave the sport seats to my 04 MCS JCW.

But seriously, no one can decide for you; you have to spend time in all seating options and decide for yourself. Just remember that there will be some "give" in time. Also, if you will be tracking the CM more than you will be just "traveling" you might want to consider the cloth/leather combo as that seemed to be the most laterally supportive option of the four. However, my body type would not like that seat on a eight-hour drive. But that is my opinion; YOU need to decide...

Whats with the different looking handbrake?

I have gravity leather in my Countryman and lounge leather in my last hatch. There is not much to say, LL is slightly more comfortable and has the looks while lounge is fine for us and is slightly more supportive. When we ordered our Countryman Lounge was not available as 5 seat so the choice was made for us but I think you will be happy with your original choice.

That's what it looks like on the Countryman. ;)

Yup; specially designed to block-off the stupid oddments tray on the even-more-stupid rail.

LOL I thought the interior was the same as the other Minis. Form over function has always been a Mini trait ;)

thanks all

Now a long wait to car arrives :( End of March
