We have three... ok four cars right now.  85 westy, 86 Honda CRX, 99 Acura TL, 03 Volvo V40.  The V40 has seats designed by an orthopedist.  They are extremely comfortable and provide the appropriate support for your back, legs, etc such that long trips are pure pleasure and after an 8 hour trip to the beach (and back when it was done) I had absolutely no stiffness and was ready to get back in and go some more.  I bought my Westy from a gentleman with a fused spine.  He had had to have his vertebrae fused as a child due to a bone disease (I believe that was the cause).  Our Volvo seats are incredibly comfortable but the PO will attest, nothing stands up to the Vanagon seats.  We brought the Westy home from AZ to GA in complete comfort.  My advice is to keep the wonderful vanagon seats stock, they are incredible.  Get them covered if you want a different look.  Why, do you ask, didn't we take the westy to the beach?  Needs work...     ;>(          haven't had any time to work on him
 and can't find a mechanic in GA that makes me feel like they would care as much for my friend Billy Bob as we do.  And we have an infant who will not tolerate roadside repair.  So if anyone knows a great Westy mechanic in Atlanta area, love to hear about it.  Otherwise I fear it may be a long time before I have the time to devote.  thanks  - rusty  rzarse _at_ yahoo _dot_ com
