Default Sitting in the F

Hey guys might sound crazy to ask this but just curious if anyone could give me some feedback on how to sit comfortably in the F. I am 6 foot and I can't seem to find a comfortable position after driving for about 15 min my left foot starts killing me, making it very unbareable Maybe someone could give directions by clicks of the controls on the side of the seat. anyone uses lumbar adjustment or rais the front part of the seat for support cuz it seems to make mr super uncomfortable. Thanks guys

Wow, may be sport seat is not for you. IS-F has one of the best, if not the best, seats in its class.

If you seriously cant find a comfortable position and are interested in trading seats, hit me up. Id be interested in trading either the front seats only or the front and rear. I am in NY and can do the swap. Obviously would add cash on my end.

Default I am about 6'1'', and the way I got comfy

was to put the seat all the way back. Then, I put the back of the seat cushion as low as possible, and jack up the front of the seat cushion until it supports my legs. I then adjust the seatback to where I feel most comfortable.

Then, I set the wheel to proper height, but it needs to extend almost fully out, so my arms are in the proper position.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, I am 6'1, 195 and I have my seat to the lowest position with the seat almost all the way back. Real comfy and can drive forever in it.

I am 6'3 and do a very similar position to the above.. wanted to add, playing with the lumbar can help with long drives, I never seem to keep the lumbar in the same position.

If you are, the long term side effects are setting in..

Sounds like the ISF is not for you, its very uncomfortable and a very unreliable car. ITell you what I'll just give it to me and I will take good care of her.

6'1 and with a helmet on even with the seat all the way down my head hits.... Without the helmet its very nice and easy on your back on long trips with its many levels of adjustability.
