Import Seats vs. Domestic Seats..
So far, on 4 door sedans (domestic vs. Import/European), I have found that most non-domestic cars have firmer seats, and domestic cars have more Plush, "sofa" like seats. Which one do you guys prefer? For me, I prefer the Firmer seats, They look more agressive, and makes the car feel more solid overall. Comments?

I have a 2k2 Max and a Volvo XC... both leather. The Volvo wins hands down, but Volvo is also "known" to have exceptional seats. The XC hugs the driver, no lateral movement when turning, gives a nice ride, and is just all-around cozy on long highway drives and short rips around town.

My soon-to-be-mother-in-law has a Chevy Lumina, POS. Not only does it drive like crap but the seats feel like big pillows covered in cloth. You sink into them when you sit down. It is very difficult to "feel" the road and on bumps you bounce all over the place.

Re: Import Seats vs. Domestic Seats..

seats suck for tall guys
I am 6'3", not freakishly tall, but I haven't found the car that seats me to a "T" yet.
No lumbar, makes mine worse. AND, to have the perfect seating position I would really need a telescoping steering wheel.
I wish I could have all that and the seat and steering wheel move out of my way when I shut off the car. LS400s do it. Automatic '02 maxes do it.
I am in a Buick rent-a-crap b/c my Max is getting hail damage fixed (should be doen this afternoon). I can find a fairly comfy driving position, but then I can barely get out b/c my legs are trapped under the steering wheel!
I think my next car will be an big-rig. Can you mod those?
