Default Touring seats....does your *** get sore like mine??

I swear I'm about to trade my 03' Touring in on something a bit more comfortable for my butt. I don't have a big *** but my butt and left leg get sore after just a few minutes. Anyone else have this problem??

edit: it's not my wallet either. I never drive or ride with it in my pocket.

I have an 06' touring with the 5 way adj driver seat and I'm able to adjust it so that I'm pretty comfy! Maybe you just need to find a better seat

Maybe it's just the person my seats feel fine to me. And after a long drive there is no soreness just ned a lil stretching thats all.

I used to have a similar problem due to pressure against the sciatic nerve (bruised due to an auto accident).

If you carry your wallet in your left pocket, try taking it out before you go driving.

I'm 6'2, 200lbs and the seat is fine for me. Actually, it's the most comfortable car I've ever owned.

Maybe you just have to re-adjust it or something.

Remove your wallet from your back pocket

My 350, like my previous Zs were very comfortable, even on long drives. I've taken the 350 on an 8 hour drive and a 12 hour drive and arrived NOT feeling beat down and worn out.

I have stock seats that have been re-covered in leather. I also have an inflatable lumbar support which makes all the difference in the world.

My guess is that you don't have the seat in the right position. Remember that in addition to the front/back adjustment you can also adjust the height which is important when supporting your legs.

I do. Even if I didn't it's pretty thin after paying for this car.

I'm not tall (5' 8"-165 lbs) Maybe I just have a pinched nerve or something.

I have an '06 ZR with the leather/mesh Burnt Orange seats. I find them a bit too narrow.

I can only drive like 20 mins before I get that pain, then I take out my wallet. I think the wallet distubs the sciatic nerve, and it can cause pain in your leg or back, try driving without it.

No thanks. The seats are narrow, but not too uncomfortable. My wife and I have done a couple of 400 mile days with no ill effects. I realize that's not a lot of miles, but I don't think longer rides will be a problem.

I love the look of these seats in the magnetic black roadster. That alone makes up for some mild discomfort.
