Hard seats

[MBG]

Yesterday, I took my better half out for a 1.5+ hour drive - the longest stretch either of us has been in the car. Granted most of it was slow and some parts were sitting in traffic, and a chunk was stopped talking on the phone (too loud for a real call), we sat in the car the whole time. At about the hour mark, my lower back and hers were aching. I couldn't seem to adjust the seats to get to a comfortable spot, and neither could she. We've both been out in the McLaren 12C for as long or longer, and it rides great (softer I think than the H in Strada vs. 12C Normal mode) and is very comfortable for what it is. No back aches there. So this was unexpected and disappointing.

I'm chalking it up to harder seats and perhaps crappier ergonomics (aka not as good a seat design).

Are we alone in experiencing this? I'm not asking how to fix it because somebody will say "buy new seats".

Longest period of time that I have spent in mine is about 15 minutes, so I'm not in the position to judge.

Seats are firmer than my 12C, but I'll take firm and reliable over plush and unreliable every day. .

Honestly, with the power seats there's plenty of adjustment, lumbar, etc.

My 12C runs reliable just has some annoying issues now and then.

Heck, maybe I'm just old and need a fat cushy seat.

I cannot drive with a wallet in my back pocket in the huracan... The seats are wayyyyyy to firm and hurts pretty quickly.

Sounds contradictory. I've seen your posts on McL forums.

The Huracan is a 600 HP Supercar,not a Bentley..I have spent hours in the H and the seats are excellent,they do what they are suppose to do,hold your ass in the seat tight..

12C is 600hp supercar and it doesn't give me a backache.

Nonetheless I still love both cars.

I did the Giro in my H last year so have spent good 3-4 hour stints without issue. That said I def agree the seats are harder, much harder than my previous G's. I was thinking possibly because I went back to full leather, it seems the Alcantara is a bit softer, with more grip.

I can't own a McL because of the darn foot well bulge on the left....so no comment there

i think you got it. Went to the car and yes the leather is pulled so damn tight the seat hardly gives when I push on it. I think that may well be it. McL seat gives more as the leather isn't quite as taut.
