Uncomfortable Seats
 
Does anyone think the Z has uncomfortable seats? I have the touring leather seats and it feels like its almost impossible to sleep in.

Think if you had the base seats like me... Lets just say anything over an hour starts to hurt. Anyways, my next mod will be some memory foam inserts and some leather seat covers

red6spd 08-30-2012 09:51 AM

I find the 3 cubic feet of room inside being the problem with sleeping in it... Not the seats.

shadoquad 08-30-2012 09:51 AM

I like my seats, although I have the non-touring. From what I've experienced, the added electronics make the touring seats actually less comfortable. The electronics dig into my legs.

Every time I go drifting I end up with a major bruise on the left side of my knee from it banging against the door. Does that count as uncomfortable? I'm looking into buying custom seats now.

Should have bought the "hooning spec" Z. :roflpuke2:

Again, I've never had trouble with the base seats, and I'm a rather large man. I've driven my Z on long road trips, at least two of over 10 hours each direction, with no problem.

When I drove my friend's touring Z on such a long road trip, I was in absolute agony.

I think you guys need to learn how to adjust the seats. I have no problems whatsoever driving 10-12 hours straight in the Z. Very comfortable.

Thats why I bought a base sports so I can make one ;)

onzedge 08-30-2012 10:26 AM

I bought aftermarket seats made by Tempurpedic. I have no problem now.

I don't know. You tell me genius.

Anyways, I was talking about short naps when you're waiting for something or road trips.

I don't really sleep in vehicles. Seems like a strange thing to want out of a sports car.

pfdaxe 08-30-2012 12:59 PM

Coming from a Lexus, the seats do fit snug. Kind of like a pair of jeans that you've outgrown.

Vichtz 08-30-2012 12:59 PM

I have the touring too. Just pop into the passenger seat man, ten times more leg room and full adjustability just like the drivers side. Thats how I get my sleep in the Z :D. However, driving it for long periods of time SUCKS

I have slept in mine before and found my touring seats to be plenty comfortable.

GaleForce 08-30-2012 01:03 PM

I use the wooden seat rollers like the cabbies use. Baller!

Two seats and rear-wheel drive tipped me off.

Ah....good call. I had 4. However, stock vs. stock, my Lexus was quicker all around. But that's another thread...

What Lexus did you have?

ISF. I just traded to get the Z. I have to say, I was somewhat disappointed with the power, but the F does have quite a bit more ponies (and ate the fuel). But, I'm liking the Z more every day.

The Z will thrill you more around corners. Take it somewhere like this.

That's where you will be on the edge of your uncomfortable seats

Strangler 08-30-2012 01:39 PM

I think it's the flabs or whatever you call it at the left and right side of the seat. That part makes it uncomfortable. Ever try kneeling on the seat to vacuum the car? Its quite a challenge when the seats are uneven on the sides. For daily driving, the seat is ok. I always have to adjust it some way when driving. Must be OCD or something.

I agree. But, they're not the most uncomfortable. I actually like them. Really keeps you planted. The side bolsters are firm.

:iagree:

I was upside down in the driver's seat once (good taste and decorum prohibit me from going into detail) and that bolster to which you refer was most definitely in the way.

What a fabulous road. This drive even has pull outs so maybe some one will pull over. The shoulders are wide if you screw up , which could give you a chance to recover.

TheGreatOne 08-31-2012 09:30 AM

Sometimes I feel like our seats are cheap...mainly because if you press your head back on the headrest, the two metal support beams for the headrest will poke you in the back lol.

If you never tried this, do it

Outside of that, I think the side bolsters are really great, I adjust the lumbar support when on longer drives, overall a good seat.

Its no G37 seat though, thats for sure.

That is a safety feature. :facepalm:

It is meant to prevent whiplash in the event of an accident.

You mean because of the length of it that it would hit me in the middle of the back?

Are you actually saying I'm supposed to feel it? I've done it in my wife's X5 and I don't feel a poke...I doubt her car is unsafe lol.

Maybe I need to push harder

edub370 08-31-2012 12:43 PM

or the x5's seat is just designed differently
