I've my 2011 D4 for almost 4 months now.
The car has the 'comfort seats' and after all this time - I still cant get comfy!! Has anyone else suffered this issue or is it just me? I do confess to being a 'fidget', but, in my D3 I have never had any comfort issues. Now, I end up with either a sore back or leg! ![]()

Not a D4, but I have the exact same issues on my D2 which has the comfort seats, and I've had the car almost seven years. Yet when I had the D3 S8, I never had any issues with travelling long distances, as the sports seats hold you that well.
I do have several back issues which probably explains my problems!

I've moved everything!
It's amazing how many different seat positions/shapes you can achieve in a 4 hour driving duration......and still not find one that feels right. I've adjusted the steering wheel too.

Oh the joys of being 5’8”! I often feel the same on planes. When I was a teen (OK, when dinosaurs roamed the earth!) this was the average height for a male in the UK and many design models were based on this 70s statistic. It’s a similar situation with the recently highlighted crash test dummies issue -they’re based on historical male models which results in higher injuries in similar circumstances for females (can I use ‘male’ and ‘female’ in today’s woke society?). I bet, at 6’4”, you hate air travel -I often feel cramped!
