"Pain in the a$$"

So until recently I hadn't driven 2+ hours at a time in the Z, but I've done it twice this month and both times my butt and lower back started to ache in the last half hour or so.... and im only 22!

Anyone else have this happen?

BTW- i have a touring with the leather seats

Anyone have COMFORTABLE aftermarket seats in? I have sparco torinos I plan to put in soon.

 

i am coming from a wrx so to me a long trip in the Z is more then welcome!

The longest i have logged so far is an hour or so.. ill let you know how the road trips go, as i go on many!

 

as far as sports cars go, i think the Z's seats are pretty comfortable. longest ride ive taken was 4hrs a few times and they never really bothered me. I'm 5'11 160 FWIW

 

I used to make 13 hr trips in the Z from FL to NC, I am 6ft, and it could get tough on my legs. I never complained though its a sports car not a mini van.

 

Driven some fairly long out of town distances in my Touring Zed having just clocked 50kms. Perhaps your seat needs adjusting to suit you a little better or possibly adjust your steering wheel.

 

I guess it never occured to me that sports car seats would tend to be less comfortable than other cars...

Ive always preferred the tighter more bolstered seats of sporty cars.

 

I had to make a 4 hour trip to pick my car up in a 06 civic I then made the 4 hour drive back in the Z after about an hour of leg time. Didn’t phase me at all and I'm 23. Maybe height or weight is a factor here or maybe bad genetics lol

 

I drove 8+ in my ZR Touring and had no issues! I have to say, my Maxima is much softer though but then again, I have a 2 seater sports car, it is going to be uncomfortable!

 

hey zand02max i've always wonered if that was you in your avatar or Chris Tucker. If it's you I think you could be his twin brother.

 

 

wow you guys are hurting after a few hours on the road. try driving across the country in your Z.

 

I don't see what's so racist about that. You certainly don't look like George Washington.


But really, to the OP - stop slouching, the seats on the Z aren't that bad.

 

+1

 

I drove 14 hrs straight in mine, and was fine. I, as well, like sports car seats. I get uncomfortable in cushy seating and luxo cars.

 

we need more cushion on our seats..
my butt starts hurting

 

I've driven the Z 14hrs and routinely take 4+ hr roundtrips with no issues..............and I'm 43

I would have to say that either your seat isn't adjusted properly or your posture is more likely the cause

 

ive had 5 hr trips on my Z and felt absolutely no discomfort at all.

 

yes thats the prob i'm short fat old and 3 back sugerys 1/2 dead leg and drove it home 5 hrs and felt perty good thanks to the meds set the height and where the wheel is makes big diff

 

i drive about 500 miles a week to and from work in an 06...

did the first couple of months (about 6,000 miles) w/out any problems...had a recaro pole position from a previous car and put it in...32,000 miles on the car in a year and no trouble at all 24, 5'10" 170lbs

 

i know how you feel

imprezas are even more pita to be in a long drive..
