anyone else get backache from their 300??

Post by **5lab** » 22 Sep 2004 12:01 pm

i always do on long journeys, right at the top between my shoulders. well anyways, i've always thought it was cos my lumbar support is bust, but today i realised - it was the damn headrest! cos i'm tall, with the foam headrest on the bottom of it is pushing my upper back forwards.. i took it off and my journey was much more comfortable - i'm now planning on making a custom one with a much thinner layer of foam except for at the top..

Not me....I think the 360 has some of the very best car seats I've ever sat in - the perfect balance between support and softness. Most seats today are too hard, yet not very supportive (ie: hard in the wrong places) - probably VW's influence!!

I totally agree with James, the seats are the best I've ever had, not too hard and not too soft with a very good lumbar support. Recently, after 1500 km in one day, I had NO problems with my back, neck... (and I'm tall, 1m90!)

but you see, thats cos you haven't got a headrest cover on.

You wouldn't believe the length of debate we had about this the other day....was pretty tragic!

Another vote for the seats - basically excellent!

I get trouble with my back from time to time (getting old ya know) and have found the 340 one of the few vehicles I can comfortably drive when it`s giving me gip.

One of the reasons I`m still driving them!

The seats without the lumbar support are already very good, with that support they are excellent.

The rear seats aren't so good (for someone like me, quite tall)

But it's forgiven and normal for a RWD car.

Seats in 360 are perfect.

Post by **foggyjames** » 06 Oct 2004 12:32 am

Not like yours....like I was saying the other day, I've never seen that type in the flesh before. I'm guessing accessory only...

What do you mean cover 5lab? I have the material headrests as opposed to the plastic ones

Post by **foggyjames** » 06 Oct 2004 08:55 pm

You can get material covers for the rubber type....but I've never seen them in the flesh before!

cheers
