Recently purchased an 03 turbo 966. Love the car but the seats are very uncomfortable. I guess they are meant to keep you in place during hard maneuvers. But in the real world that's not the way I'll be driving it most of the time.Am I the only one that has this complaint I would like to hear about It Lou

agree for long distances. I don't take my car on long hauls.

Hi I use my 996 for 300 mile runs. I found putting a soft cushion under my thighs at the front of the seat helps. I'm 6'6" hence Big Bob. Another thought run the car into an experienced seat trimmer/upholterer, and see if he can poke in some added support foam where it will help you be more comfortable.
Regards Big Bob
