I took my wife to test drive a Cruze yesterday. She is 5' 2" and the headrest hit her in the middle of her head. Ironically, we found the Buick Regal was the same way. It is a great car, but the headrest position may kill the deal (it does not tilt rearward). I did pull the headrest out of the seat and rotate it 180 degrees, then reinstalled it. While it looks funny in this position, it made the car comfortable for her to drive (although, it likely defeats the safety design). I suspect the forward tilt was intentional--probably to keep your head from too much travel in a rear end collision.

On the flip side, the Camaro seats were perfect for her. This may work out to my advantage in the long run! ;)
 
I'm 6'6" and found the bolsters in the cloth seats to be too low for my torso and they became kidney crunchers on any drive over ten minutes. As a result, I went wit hthe LT2 for the somewhat flatter backed leather seats. The Mazda 3 has the same issue when I have them as rentals.
 
Bad bad seats

i am sure all of us have taken a look for this master piece by chevy. It looks stunning. What do you all think are the seats comfortable both the front and the back rows?:confused:
after 9 weeks they are still a pain in the ass.
Someone gooft when they designed them.
If they where out sourced to have them made, some one should tell them.
 
In all honesty. They sucK. But I have a bad back.. and When my nerve gets pinched. The remedy are the seats. I'm serious. Sucks to get In and get out. But once I'm inside seated. The pain goes away lol..
 
I go through an adjustment period with every car...and I'm still in that period with my Cruze (granted it's only a couple of weeks old). I've also found that the foam on new seats tend to have a break-in period as well.

For me, I'm hoping the upper back support with soften a little -- I've found that is what is causing some of the lower back issues -- it's pushing my upper back away from the lumbar support in the lower back. I also am trying to find the sweet spot with thigh support.

Will report back after the first oil change.
 
Seats Comfortable?

I picked up my Eco about 3 weeks ago and just turned 1600 miles. It gets a minimum of 100 miles per day getting me back & forth from work. I'm 6' tall, 180 lbs and have had much trouble feeling comfy and many numb butt rides in smaller cars.

With the 6 way adjustable seats, there's almost no way to not get into a good long haul position and stay comfy the whole way. I spend no less than 2 1/2 hours a day in my Cruze.

The only changes I would make are a longer or adjustable seat bottom for better knee support and maybe add adjustable lower lumbar support on the back.

Overall, very pleased.:goodjob:
