Hyundai: 2003 Sonata complaint

I really do love my car. I get an amazing number of complements on it's
looks. It's the "rare" pearl white. My only complaint is the seats. They're
fine driving to and from work, 6 minutes each way. But, on longer trips,
over 45 minutes, there just isn't enough support and I end up with an aching
lower back. Have you experienced the same problem? Have you found a
solution? If so, would you share it with the group?
Thanks, in advance,
John D.

I have the same issue with our new 2004 Sonata GLS (non-electric
seat).

I've determined the majority of the problem I have (I get sore/tight
between my shoulder blades/and my middle back) is the wheel is short
compared to the pedals. So when I setup the pedals right, I end up
streching for the wheel. Its the streching out to reach the wheel
that causes the soreness more than anything.

Now when I drive, I cozy up closer to the pedals, which helps the
wheel-arm fit. If I bring up the thigh bolster then the leg-fit isn't
too bad -- and it does make the overall fit much better.

That said, I still could use more lumbar, even with the 3 way
adjustable lumbar bolster down in full position.

Luckily the car is my wifes, I only drive it to dinner and such. She
has zero issues with the seats. However, the problem rules out any
long road trips where we would share the driving. That kinda makes me
sad....

Otherwise, I love the car.
