anyone fix their drivers seat discomfort issues?
I just cant get comfortable in the drivers seat. ive had my car 9 months, im 5'9" 160pounds, average 30-32 waist so im not a fat ***... but i just cant get comfortable in the drivers seat. it feels like im sittin on a thick wallet, but i havent kept a wallet in my back pocket in years. no matter how much i shift, it hurts the right half of my ***!
the other day i ended up having a lingering pain down my right leg afterwards.
ive actually had the cushion replaced by the dealer once already, and i thought it felt a little better at first, but now its back to hurting. no matter the number of adjustments, on a drive longer than 10 minutes the seat is jsut flat out uncomfortable. this has to be a design flaw of some sort, since i have NEVER had pain in the past, nor to I get pain from other seats now... its just this car.
i feel like the seat isnt wide enough on the bottom cushion and the thigh bolsters come in too far so i end up putting more pressure on my butt than normal.... how skinny are japanese guys?! a 30 or 32 inch waist shouldnt have any issues with a seat right?
ps- i also agree that the lumbar is incorrectly placed, its much too high in the back.

I raised the front of the seat all the way to support my thighs and the pain went away. I know exactly what you're talking about. 6'2" 225 lbs.

I'm about 190cm (6'3?) and sit all way down and quite far back. I find it a little bit uncomfortable when I drive longer than 20 minutes. I'll start to feel the pain in my left leg and toward the ***... It's weird that after a while of driving I find myself not sitting straight and have to adjust my sitting from time to time. Never had this problem in other cars I drove before...

6'-2" 190#'s and I find my seat to be uncomfotable after a while too. It is just too narrow. But for us "bigger" guys lets face it, the interior of the car is small, plenty of leg room but no head room.

5'10 180+ and I lean like a cholo unless im in the canyons or drag racing I drove to san diego from la straight with the only discomfort in my bladder and I have even gone from LA to irwindale speedway with a gutted interior while my friend drove I sat in the lack of back seat with a floor mat under my butt then I named it the recaro cause it was not bad at all
