GM seems to do this very well.

How do you find the seats on the 05? I test drove an 01 which I believe is the same body style as the 05 and found it difficult to get comfortable. The seat seemed too "deep" if that makes any sense. Sort of like sinking into a soft wheelbarrow and it took a devil of a long time for me to find a position that I found acceptable. Strangely enough I found the simple 60/40 split bench on the 92 I also tested that day to be the most comfortable of all the seats I tried. One 92, two 99's and an 01.

As for the split climate, that's not really an issue here. It's always on max cold all the time. This is Phoenix after all. You either need maximum cold or nothing at all.
