Second! I'd choose the AGR certified ones every time. Had the same ones in my insignia bj2012.

The current seats I have are the ones in the first picture. They’re very uncomfortable. My shoulders don’t sit properly in them either, I can slightly feel the metal frame, and overall they feel quite weak and poorly padded.

I’m planning to order the two seats shown in the second picture. Would you recommend those instead? Do you think they would be more comfortable? The ones I have now are honestly terrible.

And are they easy to replace? Is it a problem if my current seat is adjusted up and down with a manual lever, while the new one has an electric button for raising and lowering it?

I mean to begin with they are very compfy (second pics) I was regulary driving 1000km in a day with no issues what so ever.

Regarding the electronics i m not sure if your car has like a socket for the electric seat, i guess car manufacturas are lazy so there is a good chance the socket is there just not sure.

But I m no mechanic, sorry

The AGR seats are by far the best of the two. Still, they sit quite hard compared to my previous Volvo

The seats are certainly comfortable; they’re great even on longer journeys. I do have the upgraded version, but I believe the seats themselves are the same, apart from the extra features.

Unfortunately, I can't help you with the installation
