RX330 - Driver's Seat Comfort ?
I just bought an 05 RX330.
Love everything about it except for the seat comfort. I only put 100 miles on it so its too early to tell but so far I am dissapointed in the driver's seat.
I feel the seat bottom is way to short, it's like I'm sitting on a stool.
How's everyone else feel?

I LOVE my driver's seat!
It took me a couple of days to get the right steering wheel & seating position, but it's all good!
Have you adjusted it? There is a front & rear height adjustment. Or do you mean the seat is not long enough?

I agree, there is not sufficient leg support in the driver's seat. This was most noticeable when I first started out in the RX330. Coming from my BMW 323, which had awesome seats, the difference was obvious. I've since gotten used to it, but miss those great beamer seats.

I thought it was just me that felt uncomfortable.
We just had a long road trip a few months ago, and I had more fatigue in the RX330 than with my old J30 that we used for the same trip last year. BTW, drove from Seattle - San Diego with stops in the bay area and the LA area. Since my wife is a bit shorter, she feels quite comfortable in her RX330.

Just about all Toyota seats have very short bottom cushion thus lacking thigh support for tall people. I do wish the seat could be longer. They seem to be tailor-made for Japanese dimension.
It is still fairly comfortable on long trips. The cushion does not collapse or sag like other seats.

The drivers seat is not well designed for taller occupants (6'2" here). I'm going to have a local shop tweak the seat for me with regard to removing and adding a little foam. I'm also going to have them make a small upholstered wedge to rest my right knee/leg on when driving. Otherwise, I find I twist my leg clockwise.
