Seats are too thin?

Does anybody else suffer from the 02 SE seats?
The edges push up into my thighs, drives me nuts.
I am 5'10" 180lbs, legs are fairly normal size, maybe a bit more muscular from bicycle riding frequently.

Nope. I find them to be pretty comfy. Wish they had more lateral support though, but much better then the ones in 00-01 maxima. they have even less lateral support

before I get flamed, I saw on pimp my ride the difference between a regular car's cushioning and one from luxry cars. it is a big difference.

ya the 02 seats are pretty comfy...they're softer than the leather on my old accord but not as soft as bmw's and others. still i find it very comfy and i think the seats are pretty big for me haha like it's tall and wide...makes me feel tiny =/

Hmm,

I'm not a small guy. 6'2 240, and I love the seats. I drive over 5 - 6hours alot. The seats are very nice.

Do you have cloth or leather ?

I have cloth.

i think the seats are extremely comfortable...they're a lot wider than any other car's seats i've been in (and no, i didn't mean SUVs, vans, and trucks, just cars)

If you think the Maxima car seats are not comfy, try the ones in the Toyota Camry. I heard nothing but bad news about Camry seats. I personally think my 03 GLE leather seats are very comfy, especially in the winter when I flick on the heated seat switch.

I used to own a cougar. The key term is used to. Those cars have a huge aftermarket though. With 5K you can make them 12 second cars (5 SPd only).
