My old '93 SSR-X had excellent seats, adj lumber and side squabs, excellent seats with great support, but still not Recaros. Having had recaro's in a few cars, I reckon that these Surf seats were however easily 90% as good.

Current '96 SSR-G has lousy seats, adj lumbar, fixed sides, no support, narrow top, soft sides, just crap. Fine for short journeys apart from the lack of hold/support, but anything longer and both the missus and I emerge with tired aching backs.
I've a set of freshly recovered Recaro's (ex Opel Kadett SR) that I just can't seem to find the time to fit. I'll have to fabricate some mountings but can't wait for the change.

Powered drop down mirror in spoiler
Compass
Altimeter
Barometer
Adjustable Suspension
Drop down rear window we all love

Many also have TV's and DVD systems fitted

Not necessarily lots of gadgets, but thats probably because Euro spec cars have caught up.
10 years ago the difference was huge, other than jap imports what normal family cars came with central locking, elec windows, elec sunroof, air con, elec mirrors etc. things we all take for granted these days. (Except the sunroof, last surf had one, this one don't. Want it back Bawhaaaa)

Rear heater is an option on SSR-X standard on SSR-G as far as I know. Basically I know this because when I went to get a new centre console lid for mine there are two types listed for the SSR-X, one with a rear heater and one without. However it seems that most of the SSR-Xs were fitted with most of the SSR-G options anyway apart from the wood panelling and the Recaros.

Cheers

found the thread... here you go!



what happaned was, all surfs are SSR. In the surf factory, there is a big bin containing the leftover letters G,X,V, and a limited supply of LTD badges, as the japanese are a resourceful people, they didn't want to waste any materials and the now obsolete "TOYOTA GXV-LTD" had a lot of leftover letters which found themselves on the back of surfs, it is like a lucky dip, the production worker sticks his hand in the "letters bin" and pulls out a letter, and sticks it on the back of the surf, if the worker pulls out three succesive matching letters, he celebrates by sticking on a LTD badge as well, if he gets 5 in a row, then the celebrations extend to include the surf , and recaro's are fitted, 8 in a row gets recaro's and a wooden dash. __________________
