06 G35 Coupe driver's seat. Same story with 07?
I just bought a 2006 G35 Coupe and am at my wit's end. I love everything about the car except the driver's seat.
I am 6'1", 230 pounds, and the right side bolster and seat controls are causing a sharp pain in my right thigh that radiates up to my lower back. I did not experience this pain during the two extensive test drives that I took. However, it's been a different story the last couple of days during my relatively short commute to work.
I am considering perhaps trying out the 2007 G35 Coupe. Does anyone know if the problems that folks have experienced with the narrow seats and right side bolster and seat controls were resolved by Infiniti for 2007?
In the alternative, I may take my car to an auto uphostery shop to see what modification(s) they can make to improve comfort. Any suggestions in Austin, Texas? What modification(s) have those of you that have taken this route found most helpful? Any photos?
Many thanks.

if you check your bmi, you're technically obese. no offense, but I think you might wanna consider a much more "roomy" car.

Well, I was in the 08 Sedan and I can tell you, those damn controls on the side are hard to get to. I have decent size hands (larger then normal Japanese engineers hands maybe?) and it can barely fit in the sides to get to the controls. Also, where the hell are the seat warmer buttons on the sedan?
forum search dude....this is a known problem with this car, ask your dealership about this:
