Wise ones!
I'm looking to change my interior from it's basic plod like cloth appearance to something a little better.
I don't really want to go for a full leather, so am looking at the velour set. I've been contacted about a 2003 Sport model, so am looking for a little information about what the different trim levels are in CDX / Sport / etc.
The basic one I have currently, have a mere electric uppy/downy for ride height and thats all.
Any advice, as always, gratefully received!
-
IIRC I think its only the Elite leather that has the full electric adjustment and memory all the others have electric up and down adjustment.
-
That's ok then, I've found a (very) old thread on trim levels, and it looks like the MV6 are favourite if I can find an interior in decent condition (!)
-
The MV6 seats give great support but at 16 stone im to big for them :(
-
I could of sworn i have seen cloth full electric seats on ebay before

Possibly Elite fabric/velour? Fabric was a no cost option for those that don't like cow.
-
Will try to find a facelift MV6 interior then.
16st too big for the seats? blimey!

They're fine with my 16 stone. ;D Most of it is in front, though, and the seat belt's plenty long. Drink beer, that's the answer! [smiley=beer.gif]
I must admit I was set on an elite with leather seats and all the trimmings until I drove an MV6 and the seats were just so much more supportive I was happy to settle for a cloth MV6 interior. They are very comfortable. I had some very long days behind the wheel on holiday this year and no issues with comfort whatsoever. In every other car in which I've tried this my back has felt it.

Sounds just the ticket then!
Can't see any around in any breakers though, or ebay. Pah!
Now I know what I want/need I can't get it! ;)
-
I thought a "sport" was basically an MV6 but with a smaller engine..?
would it have the brushed alu look inside and mv6 seats?
-
MV6 seats are the ones to go for, much better shape than all the others. Leather is all well and good, but the seats in the Elite are more suited for sitting in front of the TV than in a car. There's a reason the sports leather that was optional on the MV6 costs around three times more than the Elite leather on the used market, despite having less features.
-
All Elites, leather or cloth, are full leccy/memory. All others are leccy up/down only.
MV6 fronts a more sporty, and for most give better support. Some people find them uncomfy.
-
mine seems to have leather sport recaros, with leccy up/down. But no dippy mirror. By the way I have steering controls with sc804 , they dont work. Wrong stereo???????

sports leather an Elite option, but you lose memory and mirrors.
sc804 doesn't support remote control

Yes, spot on.
For the new shape omega (2003 as suggested) the 'Sport' model is a 2.2 4cyl. The MV6 2.6 or 3.2. Sport not as common, though I do know of a guy with a sport estate 8-)
It has basically the same interior, recaro sports cloth trim and silver trim as suggested. Also has the sport suspension and xenon lights, just as an MV6.
Basically, YES the 'sport' model seats that you have been offered will do the job a treat and look the bizz :y
Whilst we're on the subject I have to put a thumbs up to vauxhall and say that the Omega seats do wear particularly well and retain their comfyness. Our velour still comes up great after a valet with 130k on the clock. Similar ones on the bay look just as good. :-?

I have to agree there, mine still look like new and the car has 170k on the clock :o The heating still works in both seats too. Pity I can't share the same confidence in the bodywork ;)
-
hehe! Yours will be alright Paul, it's a late one. Plus, it's polished every half hour :)
We had a drivers seat heater replaced on ours at about 60k which had left a tiny blemish in the fabric, but as said, the car gets a fair bit of use and interior still looks great.

A 2.2 Sport was on sale locally for over a year - started at £5000, then it disappeared from sale about 9 months ago.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Still a nice car and still a whole load of motor for the money! :y I particularly like the front bumper on the Sport and MV6 models, it looks more.....well.......sporty! :) You don't see that many around really.
-
The clue is in the name......M[size=16]V6[/size] cant apply to a 4 cylidner engine now can it :y
-
The 'M' also stands for 'Motorsport' mark, but i'm pretty sure I wouldn't wanna race one! ;D

Has the stereo or wheel been changed? There is no plug in headlining for dippy mirror. Is loom different.
If sc804 is wrong, is correct head any better? It sounds fine but not when loud . I was praying for bose when i bought the car, however its done 18k with nothing but fuel, oil & filters.
-
Bose came in with 1998 car.
If the Sports seats were ordered, you lose all the memory functions, and a standard mirror is fitted.
-
I must say, 200 mile journey in my MV6, not a hint of back pain. Comfiest seats I've ever sat in, in a car. :)
-
Have to agree I find the MV6 Seat much better than the standard seats but the girlfriend complains about them but i just answer its my car you can always walk ;D

I think the MV6 leathers are very comfy - done 900miles in a day with no problems.
But everyone is different - some people reckon Focus seats are comfy :o
-
MV6's are superb, nicely supportive ... there's always my slightly dented one (see the thread on grrrr, dented MV6) ..... <grin>
-
My CD seats are great - done silly mileages in comfort
