Is that GS goldfinger edition?

 

Lmao!

 

You probably just need to adjust the seats to your liking. With 18-way there's alot of adjustments to make to get everything just right.

I'm 6'4" @ 270 and the seats in my '13 FSport are almost perfect. My only compliant initially was the inability to tilt at the mid back which would have made them perfect; I eventually figured out how to set everything so that I was comfortable even without that last adjustment that you have.

Just spend some time with it and pay particular attention to the lumbar and bottom seat cushion tilt if your back is killing you.

 

In my opinion it seems that you might have the wrong settings on your seats. For your back to be hurting is one thing, but your legs (which have nothing to do with padding) as well? Seems like you are too far back from the steering wheel. Play around with the settings, remember that the seats have a function that lets you extend the seats, try lowering that to the minimum. How tall are you? Let us help you...or maybe you just don't like the car at all...

Can you take pics of the thin padding on seats?

The mouse is a non issue, you don't use the mouse for 99% of the time you are using the car, at least in my case.

 

Each to their own I guess, but after test driving a bunch of cars (for a day or two at a time), I thought the seats on the GS F Sport were some of the most comfortable. I've had the car now for a few weeks and I am still playing with them, trying to find the right combination. Good luck!

 

I had the same issue with the infotainment system when I got my car. It was too distracting to use while driving at first, but after the first week or two I started to learn the system and things got A LOT easier.

Give it time and I'm sure things will get easier for you too.

 

 

You just bought it.
The GS Luxury has 18 way seats.Try different settings.You should find a setting that works.

 

This Bad Experience with a 2013 Lexus GS 350 Raises an Important Question



The Lexus GS is an attractively styled sedan, but I think it's safe to say that most people don't buy it sight-unseen. They take it for a test drive.

This article, written by author Derek Shiekhi, pretty much makes the OP look pretty stupid...and I might add - rightly so.

 

I don't understand this at all. The seats in my luxury were the best seats I have ever had in a car, and I've had some really nice cars.

 

In my experience with the seats I have had a bit of discomfort at times. I have found that making small adjustments to parts of the seats that are seemingly unrelated to the uncomfortable area can often make a difference. I also have luxury package. The seats have 18 adjustments so don't give up so fast... Play around with all of those adjustments for a couple weeks and I think you will probably find something significantly more comfortable, if not perfect.

I have zero issues with the amount of padding on the seats. Frankly, I am kind of confused about how anyone could think this is an issue. Car seats don't have to be plush and thick and springy like a LaZBoy in order to be comfortable, at least in my experience. And I think the GS amount of padding is good.

Mouse has not been an issue for me. I agree that it is not the most intuitive and can be a little bit distracting when moving, but there is a learning curve and you'll get better. Also, for me, most of the settings controlled by the mouse fall into the category of "set it and forget it," so I'm not messing with the mouse all that much when I'm on the move.

Good luck!

 

I agree, and I'm very picky about seats. I agree with others that with so many adjustments on the seat that it should be a matter of getting them to your preference. I've sat in many seats that took me several drives to get where I like them. When I was looking at Audis I was very concerned about the seats in the 6/7 series cars, so I test drove them several times and sat in them at the dealers numerous times. It was all about setting them right. After having the A7 for a year now I'm glad I did as I'm very comfortable in them.

 

I'm in the "I don't get it group" on this. My GS F Sport seats are great and I have driven the car continuously for more than four hours and felt great. I wonder if rwg 21 set the lumbar support too aggressively - I found any increased support very uncomfortable.

 

I also had my lumbar set too aggressively at one point. One thing that also surprised me was opening up the side bolster support a bit. I liked the feeling of having it in tight, really hugs you when going around turns fast, etc., until I realized that opening it up somehow reduced a little stress on my back.
