Uncomfortable Seats

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

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.

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

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.

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

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
