    Hi Everyone, I was wondering about the number of 612's produced with the standard pleated leather vs the Daytona seats. Which was more popular and which is more comfortable??

    I don't know about the numbers. I have Daytona seats in mine, and really like the way they look-- and I find them comfortable even for long drives. I think some will tell you the standard seats are more comfortable, and that might be true (never done a long drive with standard seats), but the Daytonas are certainly fine, and as I said, look great.

    I love Daytona seats because I love the 365GTB/4.

    I think it's down to personal taste - I have the standard seats and they are pretty comfortable.

    Only watch out would be on piping, I have seen cars with worn piping, worth checking / negotiating if you are buying a 612

    Same here. I have Daytonas and very happy with it in the 612. I used to own an F430 with Daytonas but wasn't very happy with them in that car. Should have taken the race seats in the F430.

    I have piping on mine. I suppose it can be worn, but I think it really goes well with the seats.

    I agree - also prefer the racing seats in the mid-engine cars.

    DD- Find the best 612 you can and take whatever seats she comes with. Some of them even had diamond stitching.

    The diamond stitching is really nice as well! I still prefer the Daytonas, though.

    I've always preferred the look of the standard seats, but I am a bit biased.

    Daytonas for me! Add some piping and its icing on the cake.
