my butt gets sore from the drivers seat in just 1/2 to 1 hour. is it just me or does anyone else wish it had more cushioning? 1999gs400. any suggestions? thanks ivan

 

I'm just the opposite, I just took a 8hr drive from NYC to NC during the holidays, and thought the driving posistion/seat was great!! I think your **** is the problem!! (j/k man hehe)

 

DItto here, It is very comfortable for me...

It may be from the way you are sitting in the seat, maybe slouching a little? I know I used to be uncomfortable in the seat until I adjusted the way I myself was sitting.

Do you have a really thick wallet in your back pocket?

 

Good question, that can lead to spinal curving!!

Like Raekwon said on Verbal Intercourse, "keep ya eyez open and ya wallet in ya front pocket"!!

 

I think someone should visit the doc.

My Lexus seats are soooo comfortable. I made a non-stop drive from NH to St.Pete FL and never got fatigued or sore. To the contrary, I've made several 1000+ mi trips in other cars that would cause a sore *** after a while.

Taking a long trip in my Lexus is like a dream...when on good roads.

 

i had a bad feeling about making this post. no i carry my wallet in front. i think i must have a bone-y butt. the seat position is comfortable. i just feel like it does not have much padding. thanks ivan

 

it's very comfortable for me too, can't ask for better. did you use the lumber support too? it's important

 

no i didn't think about that. thanks i'll try it out. ivan

 

How much do you weigh? if you dont mind telling? this could be the problem, If you weigh alot, I would assume that the seat would not have enough support. But you would have to weigh like 300lbs at least, i think. just an opinion.

 

Maybe get some sort of cover or pad for your seat?

 

Hum...did you just buy this car? Have you compared seat comfort to other 99 or later GS? Maybe the seat is just too used for some reason. I don't know...have it checked out by your local Lexus dealer. I have 106K miles on the odo...my seat shows wear but is still very comfortable...no pun intended.

 

You may want to try to reposition your seat to make you more comfortable.

 

Being tall (I'm 6'3") I've always opted to keep the seat as low as possible. Headroom is good in the GS though (plus my 'length' is more in the legs than torso) so a while back I experimented with raising the driver's seat up some. I find it much more comfortable now. Just an idea.

Overall the GS is the most comfortable car I've ever owned for short and long drives.

 

Totally agree.

The seats, legroom, and center armrest combine to make the GS an extremely comfortable car. The only other car that i felt more comfortable in was the LS.
