Anyone else find the seats a little hard?

[Blade Hunter]

I am about to embark on a drive to Melb (Next thur after work) and im a little concerned cos I get the sorrest bum after 2 hours in the Stivo. Anyone else find the seats a little harsh or am I getting old?

Just get out and stretch man!!!

I have driven from Melbourne to Sydney and back (not on the same day of course) and had no problems with the seats. And besides that....leather mmmmm (am I showing my kinky side ....where is my whip and 5 inch heels)...... :P :P

[Blade Hunter]

I find the angles very uncomfortable in the seat/leg/accelerator pedal equation.

I seem to have to raise my foot a lot to get it angled to the pedal correctly, and if driving for over an hour I get a sort of a muscle shake in my right leg...

Thought it was just me but UK T-Sport owners have been saying the same thing on their board too, seems the seat is too high where your thigh rests.

Anyone else notice this...???

americans have written about this problem too. corollas are sensible and typically reliable cars therefore the seats are not low profile even in the sport models. some americans have modified their seats/rails to sit low.

Why not use the adjusting wheel on the driver's RHSto raise/lower the back of the seat?

I didnt find the seat comfortable at first, but after sitting my fat A*** in there for a while i found that it softened up and is pretty damn comfortable now!!

:P

Does anyone have problems withthe steering reach? It seems like this car is designed for people with long arms. I have to sit almost 90 degrees to get a comfortable grip. :(

I have the same problem with steering reach.!

[Blade Hunter]

I must have long arms :P

I find the Corolla seat is very comfortable. In fact, I really liked the interior. Hey man, no girls ever complain being inside my car ;)

[stauff]

danz, this is where you're sposed to say "but they weren't there to reach for the steering wheel if you know what I mean"

I dunno, I've done 4 hour drives in my stivo with brief stops and can't say I have a problem. I reckon the seats are some of the more comfortable ones I've sat in..

The real problem I have on long highway trips is that I keep trying to change into 7th..

HAHAHA I do that too, bloody 4,000 rpm at 120 seems high

[DANZZT231]

Well at the beginning its a bit awkward, sometimes i miss reaching the gear. However its very comfy now. My back just rest nice and easy. I drove my car twice to Sydney and I never have any complain about it, very very nice.

I've done Melbourne to Adelaide with just 3 brief stops. Apart from the bit sore right leg due to keeping it on the accelerator for long time (cruise control should have helped :D) rest was fine.

HAHAHA I do that too, bloody 4,000 rpm at 120 seems high

So at 120 in 6th the 2ZZ is reving at 4,000rpm?
