Really looking for a bit of advice, I have been loaned a new 64 plate Audi A4 Avant and I am really struggling with getting comfortable. I usually have the seat base quite flat so there isn't pressure under my legs but this car only has height adjustment and you cannot change the angle of the seat base.

At the moment the seat height is high to try and flatten the seat base but my head is bashing the headlining and isn't very comfortable. As I am stuck with this for a couple of weeks I need to find a comfortable driving position so any suggestions would be welcome.

Cushion? Sounds like pretty poor adjustment all things considered...

It is a real pain, literally. What is worse is the manual shows an adjustment for the angle of the seat but it didn't make it into car.

I spoke with the service department and basically the guy just didn't give a st and was even less bothered about me cancelling a load of extra work on the car so I could have mine back sooner. You would have thought he might be a little bothered when their labour rate £120+vat per hour.

I have ordered one of those wedge cushions to if that helps as sitting so high up there is constant blast of air straight in my eyes that is making them sore and me a very very unhappy chap.
