yeah i think theyre fine the way they are but ive always liked having a harness so i think im just going to change the drivers seat, so the wife doesnt complain haha

 

I believe I remember a poster saying that 99% of the owners or 99% of people in general would say the Fit seats are uncomfortable. Interesting that the numbers here show that pulled from ass statistic as just that straight up ass.

 

I said 95% of the people would think they aren't good. And obviously, the people who answer here are owner, not normal people.
And sometimes people don't know what is good for them, that's why the goverment must tell us what we have to do in certain domains.

 

So what are Fit owners? You said they are not normal people.

 

Honda/vtec fanboys.

 

You lost your argument and now you just want to go into some kind of kindergarten name calling scheme. Grow up already and just admit to being wrong with your pulled out of ass statistics. 85%, so far, responding either feel the seats are comfortable or neither comfortable or uncomfortable. Far cry from 95% saying the seats would not be good.

 

I've driven my fit from Seattle to LA and make regular long commutes and have been pleased with the seats!

 

lol if we were honda/vtec fanboys we would have bought something besides an econobox. we would have gotten something with a k20a or f22c.

im not even a fanboy im just a car nut who likes to drive. i never had anyone complain when they sit in my car for the first time. they just say, damn this thing has s#!t load of room for a subcompact.

i have to admit the seats in the fit does not accommodate all body types but, for me the seats are comfy enough that i can drive 7 straight hours and sleep in them right afterword for another 4 hours and not have any back pain.

if you want comfy seats that can generally please most you should swap in a benz S class heated+massaging driver's seat.

one more thing, i live in cali where a big chunk of the population drive subcompacts and hybrids. i see many fits everyday, its a mix of elderly couples and young college students. i doubt seniors would purchase a vehicle that has uncomfortable seats.

p.s. if it bothers you all that much there is one thing that can solve your problem.

it works every single time. this problem solver is called MONEY. so whip out that cash and buy an aftermarket seat. SO easy isnt it? now quit calling forum members fanboys. we are enthusiast that like to mod and drive our cars. be it honda or nissan or bmw or etc.

 

He can't... the fit is his moms car. It's sad really, she is probably doing everything she can to support her family, and this kid doesn't appreciate her or her sacrifices.

Place him on ignore, and he will eventually find somewhere else to vent his personal frustrations at.

 

GAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

"mommy mommy the seats in your car are uncomfy! wahh wahh"

 

the really funny part will be when we get to see what kind of luxury car Broody's Subway checks will buy him. When that 1985 camaro is on fire on the side of the road, he will be wishing he owned his mom's fit.

 

The Fits seats seem about normal for Japanese cars - Asians cars in general have so-so seats. Detroit may make some unreliable junk, but they can properly sculpt a seat. In fact, ergonomic fit in general seem better in American cars, crummy details aside. They don't put the steering wheel so close to the dash (telescope g columns have fixed this to large extent), and clear more space around the pedals (if I'm wearing my boots, I have to carefully angle my foot in the gas, otherwise, my toe hits the box with the electronic parts.)

Te exception would be cars like the Accord that were specifically designed for USDM. I've always just chalked it up to the wee size of the majority of Japan's inhabitants. You can slide the seat around, but physically, it's about a 9/10 scale. I love the feel of compact Japanese cars - love how they drive, love their charm. Little seats with too-short cushions and limited legroom are challenges that go with the territory.

I had a GMC truck for a few years. Crap-box engineering, but the the comfort was awesome!

 

My mom thinks they are uncomy too.
And aftermarket seats... I would loose the side air bag no? It must be illegal.

My car caught fire about two months ago indeed (toyota mr2 turbo jdm, blown engine at the track). So I took my mom fit to make the auto-x events. It's a good car for this purpose, and you can put the tires in the trunk without any issue.

And I'm not working at subway, I'm paid to street race an echo hatchback (delivery). The echo doesn't have great seats but since they are soft they forgive more the lack of design/engeneering.

 

Tomorrow we start the homeward leg of a ~3900 mile road trip, we will do about 1450 in two days. The seats are just fine considering the cost of the car, way better than the wife's '08 RAV4.

 

Seats are ok, sitting/driving position is not comfy for me.
