    Can’t adjust the seat properly. Passengers slide more easily when cornering. More material required for upholstery and padding.

    As someone who has had both, bucket seats are way better than bench seats.

          the material cost is basically negligible in this comparison. it’s the component count in the assembly that matters. and two complex seats are way more expensive than one moderately complex bigger seat.

          But that’s divided between three seats, not two, so the material per seat is less.
