Well, it appears my body was made for the 3. :D I guess I should feel lucky then that I find it a very comfortable car to drive? :dunno: By the way, I'm 6'2" and 180, so I don't have very much padding on my ass, either. :lol:

Man - I got to drive a Pacifica Limited with those cushy seats... I mean, those are damn nice... they're not entirely leather (some of the seating surface is leather), but they're firm yet not overly disgusting like the Mazda3 seats. Sheeeeit, I want to transplant a new seat into my car.

Man, why do the US automakers succeed so well in making comfortable seats? :) I mean, I'm not looking for a lazy boy sofa - but sitting in the Mazda is feeling like I'm sitting on concrete bleachers.

Do you REALLY have to ask that question? ;) Dude, the U.S. is the laziest country in the world with probably the most couch potatoes per capita. It's easy to figure automakers would find seating comfort a #1 priority when desiging new cars. :lol:

^^^ Ironically, i just got invited to go sign up to be testers for upcoming car seats :bunnyd:

I still think my seat is just abnormally hard - some other s-trim Mazda3s that I've sat in seem to have more give on the seat cushion... stupid Mazda3 seat.

I mean, there are only 3 things that you're in constant contact with on the Mazda3 - the steering wheel, the gas pedal, and the damn seat. They got the first two right...

While that may be true, I don't think that has much to do with why American cars appear more comfortable. American's do a lot more traveling in their cars. Our gas is still dirt cheap (compared to the rest of the world) and we've got a lot of space to drive through.

I'm not sure why some of you find your seats harsh. Mine are some of the best I've had in a car! I've already made a couple drives that are around 3 hours and I usually have "ass asleep disease" by then. I come out of my 3 feeling great! But, I have to admit that the seats in my wife's Elantra ARE really comfy. Soft and squishy... just like the suspension! :mrgreen:
