Dealers near me all have active motion seats on the lot, can’t compare with standard seats since closest is an hour away. Is there a real difference in general comfort? Do the regular seats have the 3 levels of back adjustments? Any thoughts on the radio- more power and sub… noticeable? Thanks.

Don't have a 2025 but have a 2020 with the multicontour seats. I would think they would be the same other than the material. When not using the massaging feature, they feel like any other seat. Mine are very comfortable and I never had any back problems or aches after sitting in them for many hours on a recent road trip. Can adjust the back lumbar at three levels as you said. I actually have not used the massage feature other than to test it out and see what it was. Definitely a weird feeling (not in a bad way). I guess I am not accustomed to massaging chairs. I am surprised by how many different massaging settings there are. On my 2020 it can be controlled either from the touch screen or a four-way switch and button on the side of the seat.

FYI, posted a response on another post today and found out something. On Job 1 builds up to 11/24/24, all ST models had the multicontour seats as standard. Starting on 11/25/24 for Job 2, they are in the optional Sun and Sound Package with the panoramic roof and B&O 14 speaker audio system. On the Ford website, looks like if you one of the features, you have to buy all three. May affect your purchase decision.

I'd forgo the contour seats if that required me to have the sunroof. Sunroofs are bad Juju.
