I mean that the headrest is meant to move and that, yes, your mid-to-upper torso is meant to absorb impact when your head rocks back, in order to make your neck more stable and prevent whiplash.
Yes, I am actually saying that. Your X5 should have different safety features. It is an overpriced, overweight German grocery getter, not a sports car. :rolleyes:

But whatever, you can feel that the seats are cheap. We're all entitled to opinions.

OP, just out of curiosity, are you a skinny guy or more on the heavy side....tall or short? I'm 5'8, 175lbs and I've never found the seats to be uncomfortable. I have the Touring Package, they do take some time to adjust to get just right.

You do realize this is a sports car and not a cadillac, right? The designers/engineers think of the worst and most uncomfortable seat designs to put in sports cars or it is by design to keep your azz planted in the seat when driving it like a sports car. You pick...

I think any racing seat or seat that are build like racing seat are never comfortable to sit or even sleep in. But why would you need to "sleep in" the car anyway?

haha, don't get me wrong shadow, I love my Z and I'm not the OP, its just something I noticed in comparison to other cars.

And hey, I learnt something today about the safety aspect of it, so win win.

The seats are definitely firm

I had the 2010 Roadster, and those seats are awesome for hugging etc, comfortable? no. My buddy's 2008 Roadster has comfy seats, but they don't hold you in place when cornering.

I find what your wear affects the comfort also, but ya. I rented a 2012 Mustang and I was in love with the comfort, but ya was a stang

they take some getting used to. I'm a big guy 6'2" ~270 at first I thought the seats were really uncomfortable but after some adjustments, especially with the lumbar support, I went on a longggg road trip ~30 hours round trip and was pretty fine the whole way

ROFL.. Best comment ever. :bowrofl::bowrofl:

I am a medium person. 5'4 and 129 LBS. I always squirm in my seats, I can never sit still.

i'm in mine everyday use as a DD no problem here. the only issue i have from the drivers side is my left leg gets tired of resting on the foot pedestal. then i have to stretch it out for a while........ but i like the seats coming over from a vette

So you got two Zs out of the deal? Who trades in an ISF for a Z?

Someone that wants to save $$$ as in fuel and getting some back. I now have 7 year/100,000 warranty


Plus, the car was about out of warranty and close to 90k on the clock.

Why not just get out of your car and sleep on top of your hood ,you should be comfortable there.

I sleep in mine all the time. I have to get up early to beat traffic, Although, I have a parking garage that is super dark along with my tint and a sun shade it night inside my car. I usually nap at lunch for about an hour about 30 min in the morning if I get there too early.

My older Saturn Sky was impossible to nap in you had to sit straight up. No leaning back at all. The best car is the BMW I was trying out a 1M and that car was the best. Seat went back all the way they were comfortable, and you could set a cooling fan to come on in the I drive system so you have cool air blowing through while sleeping.
