Feeling the pinch,

Last year riding with 95MID in his 95SE. I found his seats to be very uncomfortable. I was weighing 280 last year. I really dont think I would have a problem now sitting in his car.

Yeah, always wear your seatbelts kids! I never roll my windows down, too, so I won't fly out. Thank God they aren't leather seats!

incorrect - pre 98 SEs have larger side bolsters than their zetec bretheren.
now officially a troll, i guess. used to have a black 96 SE, until it broke down one too many times.
now I'm hunting for a motorycle.

The pre98 SE's did have larger side bolsters and they were closer together. This would have worked fine for the European market, but I guess since American do seem to be *cough* larger (NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE), those narrower seats were ditched in favour of the less tight fitting seats that were in the SVTs.... I'm sure someone can add more details to this..... My suggestion, would be find a super skinny person with an SVT of the same interior colour, and trade with him/her......
