| SEATS | |||

| Within a few weeks of purchasing my honda insight, i began to develop lower back pain related to sitting in the driver's seat. not only is there a general lack of cushioning in the base of the seat which alone would be frustrating, but there also is a rigid lower back / lumbar support that is extremely uncomfortable. this is the first time that i can recall where i have had an issue with a car seat. there unfortunately is no apparent method to adjust the amount of lower back support, and modifying the position of the seat has proven fruitless. i believe that the design of the seat is flawed. *js | |||
