Want to buy another 97 850 or V-70, but after 150 miles in my 97 850 GLT wagon my rear feels like I've been worked over with a two by four. The leather base of the seat is just flat, hard, and not supportive. A friend of my mine who drives a 96 850 wagon with leather seats complains of the same thing. This is such a painful issue that it is really making me rethink buying another 97 850 GLT, one for myself, the other for my wife. I test drove a 97 850R wagon and was impressed with the support of the R-seat, but ten minutes in a seat is not the same as three hours or longer. Can you sit in an R-seat for longer than four hours and not feel like you've been tortured? I think the non-R 98's had the same seats as the 850's, but in 99 did they improve the seats? You can't interchange them with earlier models because of airbag incompatibility, but this doesn't say anything about improved comfort.
Can someone out there please advise me what models from 97 on had the most comfortable seats, one you can sit in for up to eight hours and not feel beaten. It's become a decisive issue for deciding which year and model I want to buy. Dick
