As CC says, try before you buy
Would save a few of your hard earned £££s for the serious boys toys stuff?

 

Yeah, sept week 2 we'll have a hunt

Tried a new softee seat in the golf... No win.

 

I must admit to not bothering with ford. So they may be good. I was simply too blinkered to give them a try.

 

Have you tried a late 7th gen accord / or 8th gen accord.
2.0 petrol has a fair bit of poke and they are comfortable..i ruined my L1 and S3 vertibre when i was 18 and comfortable seats is my number 1 for a car now.

I own a 7th gen accord and i have driven over 400 miles in a day and not felt any aches or pains during or after the drive.

Seriously consider a car with cruise control too as this makes driving much more comfortable

 

thanks Adam..

We are taking a diesel Insignia or similar down south, it's all I could lay my hands on for decent money at short notice. I think Accord may be too big for her but will take a look.

It's difficult as I don't find her Golf a harsh ride and she seems to take a while to understand whether it's not comfy so some long test drives required I guess

 

I find the Leg End's seats truly fantastic, but I do like them in all my Hondas.

Must be Japanese or American or something.

Volvos are weird - Saloons are fine, XC90s bloody awful - like an old Civic.

 

Range Rover Vogue maybe? Depends on budget and age you want really, but there's no substitute for sitting in something.

 

It strikes me that we happily change the seats on our boy toys cars: couldn't you fit a special 'ortho' seat into whatever car you otherwise would want rather than buy a sh*t heap you don't like because it has a magic seat? Come to think, would an Accord or Legend seat transfer easily?

The other thing is, is this a posture thing as well? I dunno if they are still around but in the '80s I worked in a software house and one of the guys had a dodgy back and swore by this straddle seat, looked a bit like one of those shoe-fitters jobbies? This thing made him keep a good upright posture which did the trick and I think his was a lower back weakness.

 

It's not always easy, since the mounting points are different and some of the seat functions may run through the Bus - seat belt nannies & side air bags.

I have an Ergohuman office chair, which is bloody uncomfortable but prevents back ache - I seem to require daft amounts of lumbar support.

Maybe it'll be back to the '80s & sticking Recaros in everything.

 

We put a boggo golf seat in it, init.

The stock in a GTD are fairly 'sporting' so too hard.

Need more spongy springs
