No, because I like everything else about the seats and I'm afraid to lose some of the bolster-ed in/cradled feel of the seat by adding something to it. Maybe I'll try it.. thanks for the push.

No, the seat as a whole will adjust up or down, but not the tilt.

I think the difference in height between the two of us is a big factor. Since you undoubtedly have your seat back farther than I do, the angle between the front of your seat bottom to the pedals is less so your legs are straighter than mine are, probably resting on the seat as I wish mine were.

Three 5+ hour jaunts so far, and very enjoyable. I do like the secure, cradled comfort that everyone else mentions of these seats, don't get me wrong, but I feel more weight on my tailbone than I did/do in my other aforementioned cars. Since the seats really don't encourage a lot of shifting around in your seat, there's really no way to change your load-bearing contact points (say, shifting from one cheek to another, or slouching a bit for a minute or two, or sitting more upright.. all things that help keep circulation moving on long trips). When doing long hauls (I've done over 20 hours non-stop except for gas and a quick bathroom break or two on many occasionas), these little in-seat exercises are life savers. Changing the seat position and angle occasionally during a very long drive helps too. With this car, for me anyway, I have to set the ideal driving location and stick with it. Like I said, it IS very comfortable, but there's only ONE comfortable "setting." I wish I could vary it more. As others have mentioned in other posts, I LOVE how well the car is laid out; you can reach every control almost without taking your hand off the shifter or the steering wheel. Beautiful.
