Passenger complaint with F Sport seats

Let me start by saying I'm 6'1, weigh 180, 32 waist ( I know TMI LOL ) but wanted to say that the F Sport seats fit me perfectly with my size, and probably the most comfortable of any car I have had.
After three weeks with the NX, everyone has loved it until yesterday. I had a friend that wanted to take a ride. He is about 6'3 and weighs around 230. My seats were so uncomfortable for him that he didn't want to ride more than a block
! Yikes, my first unhappy person to ride in my NX. Just wondering if any of you have had friends so uncomfortable they couldn't ride ?
Being my first time time having sport seats, I have read they get better after they are used more, so perhaps the passenger seat will be more comfortable later. Needless to say I was disappointed that the impression of my seats didn't sit well with a passenger after adjusting the seat different ways.
So I"m wondering if the F Sport Seats are a real deal breaker with many folks, and they walk away from purchasing or get the non F Sport seats ? Are they designed for smaller folks ? Never given much thought to it as they fit me so well. Wow, please give me your thoughts on this subject.....I need to hear !!
I've had my NX three weeks as of today, and I love it , and love the seats as I mentioned above.
Enjoy the ride, and a great weekend to you !

These seats are not made for the average American backside. They fit me perfectly, but I know some people I work with who would not like them...but they have difficulty sitting comfortably in many places. But, isn't this what test-driving is for?

Now if you use your vehicle for work...like say you are a Realtor, and you haul people around to show them properties...then this would not be a good choice for that particular situation.

As the saying goes "you can't please everyone". Make him drive next time lol
These seats are wider than Recaros, so in regards to sport seats, the NX is much bigger than a true "sport" seat.

I understood that you were talking about passengers...and that is still why you test drive a vehicle. As you do that, you need to consider the comfort level of any other members of your household that will be using/riding in your vehicle. As for friends and/or co-workers, well, I am not buying a car for them, so I don't consider them when buying a car for myself.

I've had my NX for 3 days and I have noticed how narrow the seats are. I am a wide body at 270 pounds but my previous car (toyota camry) had very good and accommodating seats. I surprised that Lexus didn't do the same.
this is probably going to be another reason why people think Lexus made this car for women.

In general though...this seat size thing should be resolved during the test drive. The comfort level, driving position, visibility out of the vehicle, etc...are all things considered during that time, and should influence then your decision on whether this vehicle suits you, and your lifestyle. Otherwise, it's like buying a Corvette and complaining it won't accommodate your family of 5.

Although not visually appealing, consider having a seat cushion handy (in the trunk?) for regular riders (long trips) that do not like the comfort. My wife has no issues in the driver's seat, but the passenger's feels more intrusive and it bothers her on the occasionally long trip. I agree with her on the passenger side which speaks to the quicker softening of the driver's seat than the passengers due to 4-5x the usage.

The standard seats are wider, softer and more accommodating for the wider framed bodies. I found them way too soft for a longer drive. I fit perfectly in both the driver and the passenger f-sport seat and I have been blessed with the genetic trifecta

The seats fits me perfectly as well. As noted earlier you bought the car for yourself. If you think the seats for comfortable then and you are not regretting you purchase then that is to me money well spent. As noted before cannot please everyone in the world. All it comes down to is personal preference. In my opinion, he might be jelly at you. Lol
