Hi guys,

On Saturday I bought an automatic 2012 A4 with the S-Line sports seats like these:

I'm really enjoying how the car drives, but I'm finding the seats incredibly uncomfortable. After even fairly short drives, I have noticeable pain in my lower back. It feels like the area where the lumbar support is protrudes heavily (even fully retracted) and puts a lot of pressure on the wrong part of my back. I've tried all sorts of different seating positions but haven't found anything to alleviate it completely.

I'm 6'4" so maybe that has something to do with it?

Has anyone experienced anything similar and if so how did you deal with it?

Thanks

 

The downside of being 5'6" is that car (and airplane) seats fit. If you feel it is just the lumbar support that is irritating, you might try and find an auto upholstery shop and ask if they could de-stuff the lumbar support padding.
