This goes beyond the "what bugs you about the Golf" as at the moment I can't get bloody well comfortable again.

The OH drives the car occasionally and has a completely different driving position to me so she changes the seat - up, in and forward.

So when I come back to the car, I then have to spend about a week trying to find the right seating position:

  • The seat has to support my thighs in that my thigh has to rest on the whole seat otherwise I get twinges in my leg and back.
  • If I adjust the seat so my leg's supported, then I'm reaching too far for the steering and my arm's strained.
  • The steering is adjusted all the way down and towards me and still not right.
  • If the seat's forward so I can reach the steering right, then the headrest is too close to my head and it aches my neck.
  • Usually the seat's all the way down so I can reach the steering, but my feet then rest oddly on the pedals resulting in more twinges.

Don't get me wrong - the seat is usually comfortable, but I wish I had electric memory seats so that I can set it and come back to it again!
