The driver seat has, over time, become lower and lower. The seat become more and more uncomfortable causing sciatica and numbness in my legs. I had to add a pad to sit on in order to drive the car.
The seat in this car has caused me lots of pain. I have tried removing the poorly placed lumbar support, adding a heating pad, adding a lumbar support, adding seat pads -- I have tried probably five different ones.
I am finally deciding to get an aftermarket seat installed, because at $2,000 it is still cheaper than selling back the car.
I mostly love the car otherwise, but I can't keep driving it this way. Somebody online wrote that this car should come with a referral to a chiropractor.
I tried having this done professionally:

This didn't work:

Nor did this:

In the end I got this for the seat

and this for the back

and a heated auto seat cushion.
I am still in pain and looking into aftermarket Recaro seats.
