Just wondering if there exists a place in Ontario with a large variety of bucket seats on display (so you can actually try them out). Wondering on a couple seats and so are some of my friends. A lot of online places, not many that actually have them there to try out, which is kind of a no brainer on a seat.

For shops, they take up a lot of space, and tie up a lot of money. Plus if they let everyone try them out, they can't sell them as new anymore after a while. They are also a bit of a bitch to transport, so shops just want to ship directly from supplier to the customer. I think they hope people will try out their buddies' seats, and then just place an order.

They have them in Europe, some places in the States. You'd figure there would be ONE hub in Ontario where people can check them out.

It's like clothes/shoes etc. That's really something you want to test out, see if it not only fits the car, but you as well.

Clothes and shoes are a lot smaller...and exact fit is more critical. Next you will want the manufacturers to make each style seat in different sizes? I suppose that is fine also, but I am sure you would not like the prices they would end up having to charge....

Actually most seats have two sizes. Waist size wink at least the new ones do.

I didn't know that. In that case, I am more inclined to agree with you.
