I was really close in getting one. I searched online where the rest of the new ones are left in my area. Because I need something else to drive everyday than a bird. I researched the Good/Bad and Ugly of the GTO. I really really wanted one. Went to the Dealer knowing what to expect with everything I knew. The Salesman started up and I was like oh yeah
Sounded great stock. I could already see it my drive way next to my 01 T/A. Then it went to total disapointment
I didnt even move the car. I sat in the seat and felt like crap. I heard that these seats were so AWESOME. I felt like I was sitting on boards compared to my T/A. I was like no way, Not happening Captain. I sat in the back seats and they were better. went to the front, nope. I messed with the adjustments nothing. Then there was a 04 on the used lot with 40K + miles. Lets see that one and maybe they are broken in more. It was worse much more. So I told my wife I will drive the Lt1 till the wheels fall off and you buy a Torrent that you wanted so long. And thats what we did. 09 CAMARO I will be waiting for you!

??? my seats are way more comfortable than any T/A or camaro even corvette that ive sat in (and they have been quite a few). i think the difference is the seating position in the GTO is not on the floor like in the T/A's. but to each their own..........

I sat in a Acura TL, and was like OMG these seats are Nice. I was hoping I get the same feeling from the GTO. But yes its a personal preference like a at Cat-Back exhaust. I may not have a chance to own a new GTO anymore, but hey there is always something newer that comes and is great as well.

yea for the most part I think the majority like the GTO's interior compared to the F body but it all comes down to personal preference. You could always but another to use as your DD

Haven't set in a GTO yet but i'd assume the seats are higher up kinda like a mustang .... driving an f-body everyday it'd probably be wierd getting in a GTO to start with but eventually you'd get over it. I can't myself say whether or not the seats are comfy or not but they look comfy and not cheap like an f-body's interior. Don't get me wrong, I love the way f-body seats set but driving one everyday of the week does get old, with the rattles/bumps/noise etc. Now with that being said if you haven't ridden in a f-body for a while or you haven't driven your's in about a week they feel awsome setting in IMHO. sorry for the paragraph.

Sat in my buddies 04 GTO and it just was comfortable but felt a lot wider and not as snug as my T/A seats. I could drive my T/A all day long...such a comfortable car to drive IMO.
