We have had ours for nearly a year now and afraid to say they haven't got any better. We did try some thin cushion covers from Amazon but they didn't really help so found some when we were at Costco, the only problem they are about an inch thick and when cold they are hard until they warm up and they also heat up when you put the heated seat on which is good and so far they have more comfortable With them.

Seats are a tricky beast and I think all new cars should come with some time with a professional giving the driver some help in setting up the driving package. Especially for vehicles with lots of adjustability.
The seat cushion extension gap ‘shouldn’t’ cause discomfort and if it is you may find that you are putting too much pressure on the front of your thighs. This might mean you need to flatten the seat, or lower the seat, so that your lower leg takes more load. It may also mean you need to be closer to the pedals. Lumbar is also tricky as most people go through life never sitting in a seat that offers appropriate lumbar support for them. Proper lumbar support can feel odd for a time until you get a feel for what is ‘good’. Now I know most people will just say what is comfortable, and there lies the issue, what is comfortable for 10mins, 30 mins, 1 hour isn’t what is comfortable after 3 hours (if anything is comfortable after that time - which is debatable). Even if people have good quality office chairs, they often adopt poor posture, leaning forward etc and not even engaging with the seat back properly. This may also be the case in your car. The amount of people that end up hunched forward, due to bad posture, habit, poorly adjusted steering wheel, seat too high etc. is not insignificant. Everyone should get someone to take a picture of them in their driving posture before and after a journey so they can critique if they are actually doing what they think they are posturally. Everyone should explore the full range of adjustment of every adjustment before settling on what they like initially. This needs to then be reviewed after doing some longer journeys. I would also advocate storing more than one subtly different driving posture in memory and changing it on longer journeys. The truth is no posture is comfortable for extended periods so best to change it. You do it all the time on the sofa without thinking about it, but you are more constrained in the car, so use the car memory to help you do something similar. I’ve posted info on setting up your seat a number of times and I’m sure people can find it if required, I don’t want to keep spamming it out there, but if anyone wants it just let me know.

Exactly as you describe with the key. I don't have keyless though, so the doors don't have pads which means I have to use the key. It's is a fumble - just a feat of style over practicality. I think the parking brake might be related to the slope on my driveway: sometime enough to trigger parking brake, sometimes not. Air suspension - sadly not as simple as easy access mode I haven't worked it out.

The easy access suspension i find ok but you do have to be patient with it and allow it to complete its cycle - open the door to get out before it has finished and it will stop and only finish when door closed again. I have sidesteps which look good but do make getting in and out a bit more tricky if car not lowered. |

Just seen an advert for a 100k miler Momentum for sale.
Have to say the interior looks pretty good. Seats look fine. Exterior too for that matter. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...o=30000&page=1 The Blond seats on this 93k miler Inscription don't look too bad either :- https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...o=30000&page=1 |

I am sorry to hear about the problems you've been having with the seats. I am about to pull the trigger on an xc60 inscription pro and I too have noticed the bar near the seat extender which is pretty uncomfortable. I appreciate that I will probably need to have a gel cushion on it at all times and wondered how you were getting on with yours with the cushion? Do you ever feel the bar with the cushions in place? I hope you have been able to find some comfort with the car. I look forward to hearing back from you in due course and really appreciate any help you may be able to offer. |

The Pro seats are so multi adjustable in every which possible way that it does take time to get a position that feels right to your personal body shape.......... but start with the leg extender in the closed position whilst you adjust and you will have no problem.
