Default Seat Question - Comfort

Should I buy an S2000, yes except for one problem. I find the seats to be uncomfortable. I find that the seat bases are too narrow for my butt/hips. The side bolsters are under my hipbones. (No I am not that large at 6

I'm 6' and 240 lbs. and I find the seats extremely comforrtable. When I get behind the whel, I'm like part of the car. It fits perfect.

If I drive with my wallet in my back pocket I am a bit uncomfortable. I am 6'1" 225#. Unfortunately my wallet is not fat. It must be my ass.

Just FYI, that's a very unhealthy habit, bad for the spine, and therefore bad for a LOT of other things.

I know everyone does it, but that doesn't mean it's good.
Front pocket's better.


Hmm, it does seem that some seats just plain fit some people, and piss the remainder off. Sorry to hear about yours, dbletap_ed. Maybe go and "test sit" a few models that would fit in the S2000?

I'm 6' 205 and they fit me like a glove. It really makes the car feel like and extesion of my body. I never drive with my wallet in my back pocket. #1 it's too damn umcomfortable and #2 As Siper said, it's literally unhealthy. I could stand to lose a little weight but I better not gain any more or I'm going to be buldging out of those seats. The shoulder strap doesn't bother me at all.

Hmm, for those with lower back support issues with the seat, aside from having some cushioning added, how about a lumbar support pillow? You can buy them just about anywhere, these days.

The rolled-towel method works pretty well, too.

Another reason I like cargo pants.

Well, some of them. Most are just retarded, overpriced fashion junk, thin and worthless. But I found a pair of Arizona pants on sale at JC Penney last year with a big pocket on the leg, they're my favorite pants.
