Just wondering if anyone actually uses this ?

 

Mine is one click out. I wouldn't notice if it wasn't there.

 

I've been using mine since day one.

 

I like using mine on long drives.

 

I dont use it while driving... use it if im taking a nap

 

I open mine weekly to clean all the dirt and other things out of it that always seems to collect in it. Otherwise I don't use it.

 

^^^ impressive restraint all. I'll do it...what is 'Theigh'?

 

I have mine extended slightly. I'm 6'4" so my seat is all the way back and at first I thought the extendable support was gimmicky at best, but then I actually pulled it out a bit and found it to add some comfort, so I've left it extended.

 

The correct spelling should have been "thigh", for the thigh bolsters on the drivers seat of certain models.

 

I thought all models had it?

 

Another time I use it....while taking a nap!

 

Always use it.
It's one of the great ergo touches the seating incorporates.
Passenger side should also have it.

I have mine pulled out one notch. On long trips, I go to two notches. I alternate driving with my (shorter) wife, and she sets it back to no notches.

 

Stodge you are correct they all have thigh support.

 

I use mine all the time, it is very comfortable and adds some extra support under the thigh so you are not holding your leg up (it does it for you).

 

Never drive my car without it fully extended. It's one of the me reasons I bought the car.

 

What is this thigh support you speak of? Where do I find it?

I'm 6'4", so I am extremely curious. Never heard of it before.

Thanks.

 

Drivers seat, the front of the seat can be pulled out to support the thighs. There is a latch located just below the front of the seat that controls how far you adjust the support.

 

Thanks. Good to know. I'll have to check it out tonight!

 

I don't think the microfiber/suede seats have it haha. I just went out to my car and tried to find this latch... but there is no way in hell that part of the seat is extending. It is connected.

 

Though I'm a hair under 6 feet tall, I have the legs of a man who is 6'2.
My thigh support is out one click for comfort. I didn't use it when I first got the car and found the seats lacking thigh support. Then I played around with the extender and now love love love love love love the seats. Best I've ever had in a car.

 

I have short legs so I don't really need it...
I must say that these seats are some of the most comfortable I've sat in.

 

Totally. More comfortable to me than my dad's BMW 528. Of all the cars I've driven, the Max is the only one that I can drive long distance without back pain. Plus, when/if I do have a little soreness, I flip on the seat heater and everything just relaxes.
Love the seats.

 

The latch on my 2012 SV is busted. Lumbar support will slide in and out when getting in and out of the car. Anyone else have this problem?

 

You are spot on. I also have a BMW 535i with the luxury seating package and find the Maxima seats to be better. On the BMW I can't raise the seat as high as I like and can't lower the steering wheel low enough for my taste.

 

Your lumbar support slides in and out? Wat?

 

I have mine all the way out all the time, I should prob put it in to get in and out tho, I think leather is wearing on the end of it.

 

eh drivers seaton t

yes, the thigh support on drivers seat
