Seat Pain - Official Poll

After several frustrating conversations with Infiniti Customer Service ( a great new oxymoron right up there with 'military intelligence'), I've decided to take a survey. How many G35 members find the G35 seat uncomfortable? Maybe if enough of us speak out, Infinity will find a real fix for the seats. (The TSB helps, but is only a marginal improvement.)

Changed Q35 to G35

Re: Seat Pain - Official Poll

I think you may be attempting something along these lines:

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="/forums/dopoll.php"><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="pollname" VALUE="1068502588ryoken">


How is the seat in the G35?
<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=option VALUE="1">Painful, after TSB
<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=option VALUE="2">Uncomfortable, after TSB
<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=option VALUE="3">Okay after TSB, uncomfortable/painful before
<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=option VALUE="4">Okay without TSB
<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=option VALUE="5">Excellent without TSB
<INPUT TYPE=Submit NAME=Submit VALUE="Submit vote" class="buttons"></form>

Re: Seat Pain - Official Poll

Two 27 hour non stop drives and dozens more >100 miles in these seats and it feels great to me. I am 6'4" 250 lbs, I have the sport package and these are great.

remember this is a sports car and rewards proper posture, foot positioning, hand placement and techniques.

I sit up straight in mine (even with my head brushing the ceiling), hands at 9 and 3, feet vertical, never had a problem

Re: Seat Pain - Official Poll

The only complaint that I have about the seat comfort is that I think there should have been more adjustability to the lumbar support.

Re: Seat Pain - Official Poll

I agree with the sentiment of so many magazines and publicized reviews I have seen -- the seats are fairly uncomfortable. I end up shifing around a lot to take my weight (185lbs) off of the right side where the movement controls are. I really think it's poorly designed in that area. I have had many other high-end cars (this is by far the least expensive car I have had in a long time), all with sport seats, and all of which were much more comfortable.

I have always had a problem with a wallet when in a car, not just the G, every car I've ever owned!

Re: Seat Pain - Official Poll

Some chiropractor advertised this: girls should rotate shoulders when carrying their purses because it'll throw off your spine alignment. But, guys should be concerned because driving/riding with your wallet in your back pocket will also throw off your spine alignment. So, give the wallet to your girlfriend/wife to hold, and tell her to rotate shoulders when carrying her purse (with your wallet in it).
Seriously, I'm 5'5 150# and feel ok, but could be better. Maybe it is a SiZe thing, that the seats were made for bigger people.
