Hello All,

I'm new to this board but very interested in the 07 G35S. I test drove one last night and I love this car but found the driver seat to be very uncomfortable mainly because of the "thigh bolsters". Tried all the adjustments but could not find a comfortable position.

I hate to downgrade to a Journey but the driver seat on the Journey seems to be very comfortable.

I'm hoping that this is normal and you kinda just get used to them after a while.

Your input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

are you fat? just kidding!!

It took me a while to get the side bolsters and thigh bolsters adjusted right, but now i'm finding it really comfy. better than my old IS300s seats fit me.

I don't like the front extension. the gap it leaves is uncomfortable for me.

 

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I'm 5'7" @ 155lb.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I agree, I found the sport seats a little uncomfortable also for the same reasons you did. No, I'm not fat either . That said, if I lived in a climate w/ little snow, I'd be driving a sport instead of an x.

 

Hmmm...I'm 5'10" and 180 (so sorta the same ratio), and at first found them a bit uncomfortable, but now realize that it was just due to having pressure (cozy) where typical seats don't. I've now taken multi-hour drives on the seats, and they feel really comfortable now.

So, assuming that you adjusted them out (not in ), it may just be because they are deliver support where you're not used to it.

 

im 5'11" 200lbs and i didnt have any probs with the sport seats. i found the non sport seats too flat and not enough bolstering.

 

Sorry, but I can't relate. I think the 07' seats are even more supportive and comfortable than my 04' coupe ones. BTW, just for measurement sakes, I'm 6'0", 184lb. - Not overweight, but certainly no stick by any means.

Unless you think you can live with the journey model, I'd say go for the sport model. As long as you are not overweight, there shouldn't be a reason for you not to get used to it and eventually - even love it.

 

I didn't find them comfy either. But it really didn't matter since they are not available on the X anyway.

 

Maybe Garnet Canuck can give us more insight on the Sport seats after all he's the expert on this subject.

 

^^^ LOL at this guy!

 

Damn! He beat me too it.

 

I'm 6'2" and about 240lb. I tried the sport seats and I could not imagine
I could get the bolsters wide enough to be comfortable for me.

 

This concerns me as I am waiting to get back from my deployment to get an 08 coupe and I am 6'1" 225 and not a little guy...wonder if the coupes seats will be different than the sedans as I have sat in the 07 and was fairly comfortable...

 

I could see that. The same thing would have to apply with the current generation coupe and previous sedan with the seat control switches. The previous seats and current sport seats are definitely skewed to a smaller frame.

 

i'm 5 7 165 and at first drive was so concerned I'd hate the side bolsters against my legs that I considered not getting the Sport. Bu the rest of the package is so good that I too a chance. Now after 2000 miles they are just there holding me in and not a problem at all. And, I like the thigh extention in the front.
