Skeptackle, In my opinion the seats are very comfortable! The R design seats have more side bolster support which is nice, our local dealership had a Bursting Blue in stock when we picked up ours and it looked really nice! Wow an XC90 on the farm, that's what I call farming in style! We have only taken a 100 mile round trip so far and the Volvo was very comfortable, in March we will be going to L.A. so that will be a good test on comfort with this vehicle.
