I wonder if you find the sports seats uncomfortable. I have been trying to find a comfortable position with the seat. I tried changing the tilt, height and distance but I couldn't find a comfortable driving position. I have always suffered from back pain after driving. I find the inherent lumbar support (unadjustable) of the seats especially uncomfortable. Are there anybody out there who are perfectly happy with the seats? Should I visit a doctor?
When I got our car the seats were too high
So I dropped the drivers seat it feels a lot better
Need to go on a long journey to really test them
The front seat the wife users is a little low has see
Says she drops down in the seat will have to raise
It up for her

How's it going Dan with the seats ? I'm very tempted back to a k shortly , have seen a few recently I like (all Sri) .
Something about the Astra , ok they are everywhere and suffer from this brake clutch recall but however much I like the Leon I still have a soft spot for the k.
As said it def will be Sri as the seats are perfect for me. Would love a 1.6 , checked on auto trader the other day and none within 200 miles of me lol
found this on some car review
" Our Astra's 16-way adjustable front sports seats are endorsed by a German orthopaedic agency committed to "back-friendly wellness." Result? Virtually ache- and twinge-free motoring"

Ummm maybe in Germany Dan , but completely did my back in. Ok it' was on a mokka and not the k but assume similar seats.
Sports seats all the way for me , and as you said they hug you better.
Good luck Dan , I think a member a while back had similar problem and priced up Sri seats to replace the leather ones but were astronomical so chopped car in. I know it's not ideal and money will be lost somewhere in a swop deal but I did it and don't regret it one bit. I spend hours in the car every week so it was a must for me. Real pity as the leather heated seats look lovely.
hi Dave,
many thanks ... yes cost would be the issue for me :/
...good to know the sri seats are treating you well
shall see how i get on ... there must be a good setting in there somewhere
cheers
...going lower ... dropped seat height, and dialled out the lift on the thigh setting, increase lumbar slightly - the seat being lower certainly make the drive feel better ... hoping better on the back too
Have to admit I have struggled getting the right setting for comfort, and it is the most adjustable seat and steering wheel I have ever had. I am 5 foot 11 and a bit inches.
I'm quite tall and have the seat a bit high with a large incline (the actual seat not the backrest). Perhaps you can try to set the incline a bit lower.
hi Pepe,
thanks ... by incline do you mean you have the base of the seat tilted backwards? ..... if so is there a setting for that? :/
cheers
