I am having a difficult time getting comfortable in my drivers seat. I've owend this car for a few weeks now and am still trying to find the sweet spot. The seat along with the seat belt are annoying.
I've gotten it low enough and slanted almost right but my right leg keeps hitting the seat adjustment controls now.
I know its a bunch of crybaby stuff but I have a long commute so seat comfort is important. The test drive didn't bother me much as it was not a long trip and I figued I could adjust it to the correct position later.

How does your right leg keep hitting the seat adjustment? I don't understand that. About being comfortable seat, I have no issue with that. Drove from Boston to Miami then back once and had no issue with long riding =)
I'm a pretty big dude and my right quad. sits almost on top of the seat adjustment controls.

coupes are not made for big people
I'm 5'1 125lbs and I have a hard time getting in and out.

Suzukigirl, 5'1"? and you have probs? haha. As I've said I am not huge but I am 6'1" and about 230. Getting in and out isn't a prob. its finding the sweet spot for the seat.

just j/k around, no hard feeling i hope =)
Hard feelings? Why? When I say big, for myself, I am not some fat slob blob dude....I train at a gym and such, I am just a larger than the aveage guy and my quad rubs or sits almost on top to the seat controls. Originally Posted by vhtran

I'm a pretty big dude. No problems. But my quad doesn't get up and over the seat onto the controls at all.

Took me awhile with my 6-way adjustments, but finally found my sweet spot. Did the seat memory thing too and on my fob. Did the seat lower mod b/c I'm long wasted and me head used to hit the sunroof opening haha.
A Z friend just drove my G the other day. Said my seats were much better than his

Yea it seemed like I've narrowed it down to where my right quad rubs right up on the controls and its a hard metal base...Maybe I can try to soften up that area somehow. I've got the tilt and recline ok now it seems....It took a day or two to figure out the mechanical recline. When I have the seatbelt on the recline mech. is covered by the belt, so when I felt for the lever I couldn't find it, so I kept trying to adjust recline using the elec. adjustments and all that did was cause probs in other areas.
I will figure out how to make the right thigh thing ok, I was just wondering if I were the only one with this seat problem.

I'm 6'1" 190 lbs and have the same problem with the seat controls on long trips. They're the only issue I have with the car but they really suck. Can't believe they never did anything about them.Originally Posted by jetdoc

Because the seat is designed for an average American size. You guys are over average, you need a truck. hahaha
