Boxster (Un)Comfort(able) Seats

[FredBasset]

Folks, I have a little problem with the comfort seats in my wife's Boxster. Obviously this is all down to individual shapes but I can't seem to find a comfortable position in the car no matter what I do. I'm 5'11 and have plenty of leg room but always seem to end up with lower back problems.

We have a 7 hour trip next week and she is keen to take the Boxster, has anyone else found the comfort seats give them problems and any tips on how to adjust it to alleviate the problem.

Personally I don't know why we can't take the GT3, the buckets in that are perfect. Too noisy apparently!

Regards
Fred

earplugs - (two sets - one for her and one for you - just in case hers fall out) 50p a pop at your LBS!

Simple solution - knoble the Boxster and you'll have to take the GT3 then

Lack of lumbar support on these seats.
I have the same problem in my Spyder.

I bought a nice D shaped support in black ( blends into the seat nicely and hardly noticeable) off the Internet and it seems to have done the trick.

I can't post a link at the moment as I'm on my phone.

I had the same problem though it was my 2nd car & not SWMBO's car & also sadly more expensive than the any of the earlier solutions...I got a very reasonably priced single fixed back racing seat with mounts & runners etc from Cobra - simple to put in/take out & whilst on holiday you will be the only one driving as a consequence! Once you have finished with the seat sell it on PH!

I have trouble getting comfortable and back issues in many vehicles but never had a problem with Porsche seats. My 911 has more lumber adjustments than Boxster had but that was still comfortable after many hours driving. Sorry that does not help you!

Thanks folks, I'll look at adding some lumbar support. At least the weather promises to be good so we can put the roof down:-)
