The problem with that is that phevs are surprising expensive/heavy/complicated. It's why Chevy discontinued the volt over the bolt. And why chevy had to cut a lot of costs on the volt to get it down to a semi-acceptable price (the volt didn't even have power seats except on the Premier, and only on the drivers side).
Honestly, I prefer not to have power seats. It's faster to adjust manual seats in my experience and there's both fewer things to break and less weight.
Agreed. Although having seat settings linked to individual fobs is nice. If you share a vehicle you don't have to mess around with all the settings every time. Moot point though.
I've found I can never get a manual seat just right myself, they're either slightly too far forward, or slightly too far back.
Electric let's you get it just right
Does that midpoint between 2 steps really make such a difference? 🧐
Yes, yes it does.
