I suppose if you have a narrow butt, the D2 S8 sport seats would be fine, but they are a tad bit too tight for longer trips, but fine around town, and keep you planted when "driving" the car as it's designed to be driven.
But the D3 seats are adjustable for width, and that should have been an option in the D2 sport seats.

I find D2 seats not tight enough but then again I am small bloke. One size does not fit all. I did like A6 C4 sports seats- narrower nad being fabric less slippery then leather. Quite liked MR2 seats as well- very tight and adjustable
