I've still got to work that out. I've seen it move to between the seat and the drivers door and also an cut out in the front of the seat

can anyone suggest some nice seats under 200 quid that will be nice & light & dead comfy

I drive my wifes smart car sometimes and the seats are quite comfy. They hug around the sides just enough and they are quite light.THESE may not be the best colour but are well under £200.

nope. they are very comfy (I drive a smart car every day), and very slim. also available in leather and heated but they have no tilt mech and only the drivers seats recline. the passenger seats are fixed but do have the ability to fold flat (making more load space in the car). Also the backs are a solid metal shell that includes the headrest.

Loads easier with mx5 seats in my opinion slide forward and tilts. Standard seats just do a half attempt at flopping forward.

I had fiat coupe turbo leather seats, the passenger side one is designed to tilt and slide very far forward. This was great for rear access.
