uncomfortable drivers seat

Sorry the seat is not fitting you well. Perhaps a cushion or something might help alleviate your pain??

Careful though.....back in 2004ish a former member of the old site just couldn't somehow adapt or "live with it" and he traded his new Sienna in for a new Ody after just a few weeks. That seat "cost" him $8K.

Of course, no seat is going to fit 100% of all people. It's going to vary from person-to-person. For me the driver's seat is ok. It's the 2nd row seats that are idiotic. There is no way to sit or lean comfortably or be in a reclined position because whichever engineer designed the articulating joint in the seat FORGOT that that is NOT how the human anatomy works....AND there is NO room under the seat in front of you for your feet....it almost feels worse than many commercial airline seats as far as legroom if you try to lie back in the 2nd-row seat. Your head has no comfortable place, your back/waist have no support, and there is no place for your feet. I really hope they learned something and improved the design/ergonomics in the upcoming 3rdGeneration Sienna.... ??? :

YMMV.

I'm 5'9" 170lbs. I consider myself to be of "average" height/weight/build.

It's not simple overall height that matters. It is "how" all of our body-parts combine.....lengths of fingers, upper/lower arms, feet, upper/lower legs, torso, neck, individual dexterity levels, muscle-tone, etc, and the unique variations in angles and distances that affect our perception of whether or not something "fits".

My genes have coded my body to develop so that I appear to be approx 1" inch "short" for most pants and dress shirts. In other words, when buying clothes "off-the-rack", pants are usually 1" too long for me (standard seems to be 32" inseam...I am 31"), and shirt sleeves are also 1" inch too long (standard seems to also be 32", and I am again 31"....IIRC). Or, if Iget the next size "down", then pants/shirt sleeves become too short. I am one of those odd, "in-between" sizes. I just can't win. ??? :'( ;D 8)

For many cars (foreign/domestic), I can more or less get comfortable and adapt, but many controls also "feel" like they are also approx 1-2" out of easy reach for me....I have to "stretch" or re-position myself to reach them. IME, I have found most Hondas that I have driven to have the best "fit" and ergonomics for my particular body. 20+ years ago, my old '85 Prelude always felt like it was molded to my body and was an "extension" of it....every thing was within easy reach and "comfortable".....but maybe that perception is because I was much younger and more flexible and adaptable....and less prone to various aches and pains.

We are all unique. We are also humans, and our greatest strength is our ability to learn, adapt, and/or change either ourselves or our environment.

YMMV.
