This car and its seat have gradually eroded by lower back and spine. The seat is shaped in an such a way that it forces the spine into an unnatural position. When factoring in the fact that even minor bumps in this car cause its weak suspension to send vibrations throughout the seat, my back has suffered long lasting damage. No amount of built in lumbar support or added cushions has resolved this issue. In addition the only way to get adequate leg room is to have the seat back but the position of the steering wheel pulls the shoulders forward. This has resulted in a great amount of pain and puts the spine in a further vulnerable position to be subjected to vibrations from the road and forces an unnatural sitting position. In the attached images, please note the position at which the steering wheel is in relation to the seat. It does not allow for a natural bend of the elbow. In stead it forces the driver to keep their elbow pointed up. This seat is a clear safety violation, not just for my back and physical well being but for the safety of myself and other drivers. This car does not allow for me to properly see the road and handle the car as I am driving. The physical pain and discomfort it causes makes it difficult to concentrate on the road. I often fear that it is only a matter of time before this results in a serious accident.
