Now as much as I like my Stilo, one of the biggest negatives to it is the god awful seats.

They're aesthetically pleasing but just don't hold you at all on anything more than a 5 degrees corner.

This was compounded when I took out an Alfa 147 today - it stuck to the road like glue and I barely moved. In comparison, it just felt more planted and I was firmly in place to tackle anything.

Anybody else notice this about their seats? It just feels like I need to hold on to something else when cornering! Don't get me wrong, I'm no speed demon (my boy racer days are long gone) and at first assumed it was my driving style, but whatever I do I just don't feel 'in place' when driving.

Yeah, have noticed it myself to an extent though they are fairly comfortable over long journeys. On the 147 subject - you can swap a 147 interior into a Stilo by the way. Not sure how involved it is, but I've certainly seen it done with the GTA leather interior, could be an option.
