Each Lancer gets its own seat fabric, with noticeable improvements in quality and feel as you climb the trim ladder. We spent the bulk of our time in a GTS model with the standard sport buckets, and can report that the fabric does indeed feel softer than that in the ES, and there’s little to dislike about the GTS’s comfort and substantial side bolsters. Window sills are wide enough to accommodate forearms, but they’re too high and the hard plastic leaves something to be desired. Padded door armrests are too low and become narrow where they need to be thick for resting elbows; the center armrest is too far back. We like the tilt wheel, but missed a telescoping function.
