Just imagine if you came from a Miata. Then you would be really disappointed with our seats.

So tell me, do your Zs seats feel cheap and flimsy? Do they thud when you sit in them?

lol this thread

I will say one thing about the seats, I know when I push my head back on the head rest, I can feel the stems from the head rest pointing into my back...I always felt that was kinda cheap

I say its weight savings...so F it

I hope you are being sarcastic about that as that is the lumbar support built in for rear-end collisions.. lol

This is a whiplash prevention mechanism.

Hey that's like how my lock beep was disabled when I got the car and spent about 6 months without it turned on until I spotted a thread on here about it...I always chalked that up to weight savings.

In all seriousness aren't the headrests designed to help mitigate whiplash in rear end collisions?

I think the seats are alright. they're not the greatest ever, but by no means are they horrible either.

I didn't want to bring this up considering my other post but anyway, yes the seat is narrow, only mid thigh, everywhere else i thought it was ok. I don't understand this, surely car manufacturers know that Humans are gettting taller/bigger?? Oh and before the Zed guys attack me, i have the same observation about my MX5.

Different seats for different market segments. Obviously, in a two seat sports coupe/convertible, I think it would be an overwhelmingly poor response if they had made big, flat SUV style seats. People are absolutely getting bigger, unfortunately wider being the faster growing dimension, but this is why they invented the test drive, if your fat *** doesn't fit don't buy. I'm a pretty big dude and have no problems whatsoever fitting in my car.

My DD is a G Sedan and sports seats are more comfy there, I found base Z seats to be nice but lack the recline adjustments and I felt a bit uncomfortable in thighs area after some long drive. Got those redone in leather with some extra padding seems to be ok now.

The seats are too wide. I wish they were narrower.
