Most uncomfortable car seats on a modern car (to you)?

I dont find the sports seats in my 2018 3 series very comfy at all. Find on longer journeys I'm always moving to try and get comfy.
My 320d MSport was not comfortable, not sure if it was because everything for the seat was manual, or the car felt too low down to sit in, but not very comfortable at all. The seats in the back were cramped for the Mrs between 2 baby seats as well.
king sMy wife has just picked up her mustang. I drive it 18 miles the other day. Mainly on a bypass. By the time I got to work 30 mins later I practically had to roll out of the car I was in so much back pain. The base is all electric but the upright control is a ratchet and lever system. It’s impossible to get comfortable. Either laid back like a gangster or upright. Just not enough fidelity in the selection.
I appreciate it was a first drive and I could probably adjust the seat better but they were awful.
Also I always dreamed of owning a mustang. Having now driven one no thanks it’s bloody awful. Sounds great though.

Anything Audi or VW for me, I sold both an A3 Sline and Mk5 Golf GT TD because of the seats. The driving position is also rubbish on most VW group cars, the steering wheel, pedals and seats and all in different postcodes. The A8 though is comfortable.
I’ve got a Passat, had four golfs and an Audi. My Mrs has an Audi and previously had a golf. We both love the seats!I'm very fortunate as there aren't many makes of cars that I can think of that I haven't driven, and I cant recall any that had even remotely uncomfortable seats.
Sure, some were different to the car that I drive daily but none were anywhere even approaching unacceptable.
Someone really needs to tell VAG if their seats and driving position are that bad, otherwise whilst they have clearly suckered people in to buying one of their cars without an extended test drive, surely no one in UK, Europe or Rest of World will buy a second, their business will implode over night and the world will be awash with unwanted 6 month old VWs.

The question I asked was which seats are uncomfortable (to you)? I don't for one second think that these car seats are universally uncomfortable, it’s which seats don’t gel with you as an individual.Sure, some were different to the car that I drive daily but none were anywhere even approaching unacceptable.

I was genuinely surprised that I couldn’t get comfortable in an edge. I’m sure to many the seats are fine, it I was uncomfortable to the point I didn’t want to even sit in it.
You are obviously lucky that you get comfortable easily or you just haven’t come across that one car that doesn’t agree with you yet!
Current shape Vauxhall Astra
I had one as a company car, could only bare it for about 30 mins before having the stop due to back and hip pain caused by no lumbar support and a strangely high lower seat squob, coupled with no arm rest and very little padding in the seat and no where to put your arm on the door card made it a awful car to drive
The insignia I have now on the other hand is great, loads of adjustment, padding a great arm rest, really is a great cruiser. The seats in it are almost as good as the ones in my A3
