I just purchased a Fit and can not bare the seats. I don't get it, they are worst than sitting on a sheet of plywood. The problem stems from too much pressure on the upper thighs. I am sorry I did not notice this on the test drive. I just got out from a 45 minute drive and my legs feel like I ran 10 miles!

I am not sure if previous years are this bad but does anyone else with a '12 Fit have these complaints? I tried many different seating positions and nothing helps. Does anyone have experience with the Cazzio seat covers helping?

 

I have an 08 and never had any comfort issues. How tall and what weight are you? I don't think the seat covers would solve the issue honestly. However, you may want to look at fitting something like Civic Si seats.

 

my 2012 fit seats are comfortable ..

 

I have no issues in my 2010. I think they are comfortable enough.

 

I have a 2010. First month, the seats took a while to get used to. Now I actually prefer them, but some people just don't like the fit seats. Not a whole lot to say about it. If the problem were lack of thigh support, there's a way to raise the front of the seat up. You could try doing the opposite and add a washer or two on the back of the seat rails.

 

I am 6‘1“ 198lbs. I notice all my weight distributed to one area of my thighs, that's the problem. Have owed many cars and never had this problem.

 

Ya I have to try something because at this rate I will leave the car parked and continue driving the GS.

 

6' 220lbs. The seats were very uncomfortable at first too. Now after 50k+ miles they have settled in a good amount. When I sit in the other seat I see a big diffrence, it's very stiff.

 

are you sitting forward on the seat or... is the curve of your spine align with the seat at any position of the seat?

 

take it back to the dealer then get an american car.

 

Im 6'3-ish and have an 09 and dont have any issues. Did a 12 hours non stop wangan run and a 12 hours run back home over a weekends and it wasnt so bad.

Trying sitting upright, I find when I try to gangster lean like I did in my old VW things get uncomfortable.

 

From what I can tell the rear of the seat feel fine, my back touches most of the back support. I also noticed the bottom of the seat is very short, it seems to not support as much of my legs, like I am sitting on the edge of a chair feeling.

 

Not a very helpful post K20! I have been happily driving Japanese cars for 20 years and the best seats I have experienced are from Lexus.

Thanks for the helpful advise!

 

GS? Experience with Lexus? Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think your booty might just have some expensive taste. Lexus is luxury, especially when compared to the Fit.

 

Yeah, i'd say they're not super comfy really, mine got better with time. I do 8-10 hour roadtrips almost monthly and don't really have any problems.

I find my seating position is really different from how I usually have it in just about every other car i've owned though. I have to sit very upright to be comfortable at all. I usually put a G-lean on my seat because i'm tallish and have long arms but it's a no-go in the Fit.

 

Oh I hear ya on that one but I drove a '07 Scion TC a couple years back and those seats are great so my rear end is not that spoiled.

I can sit in my office chair all day, my home office chair all night and drive the Lexus for 5 hours to LA and I have no problems with any of those. I drive to the store in the fit and immediately have issues.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I will try a couple ideas like raising the rear or adding the Clazzio covers which other members said really help with the issue I am having.

And BTW, I love everything else about the Fit! Back in '06 I was in Thailand and a friend there had a Jazz, I immediately though America should have little cars like this and I believe in '07 we got it. So finally I picked one up!

 

Yeah, I like a couple posters in this thread didn't like the feel of the seat when I first got the fit. Now that I've had it for 1500 miles, I'm used to it and don't have any complaints.

 

I have Clazzios and no difference in comfort really.

BUT a couple things you can try

1 - Raise front of seat. Put two or three washers under the front rails. The front seat bolts come out easliy

2- Put a spring on gas pedal. I found a lot of leg pain from trying to hold foot up off the gas pedal https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...rn-spring.html

 

I find the seats in my 2012 Sport to be very comfortable, I'm 5'10" and 210 lbs.
But, getting shorter & fatter probably isn't a good solution for you.

 

The Clazzio's won't help with height, but they will make the seats a bit more plush and help with pressure points.

The seats really didn't bother me much prior to to adding the seat covers. Congrats and enjoy your new Fit!
