Seats

Is it me or are the seats in the RRS too high? Crying or Very sad

I have mine set to the lowest setting (being 6'1) and it just does not seem low enough! If I sit upright rather than sitting there like Mr Quasi Modo, my head is almost touching the roofline. Exclamation

I have noticed over the past week that I am getting neck pain now as I must be scrunching my spine up when driving. Has anyone else had this issue....seems as if there is a lack of pitch on the seat.

I like good support, so the back is quite upright. I could adjust the back to the more leisure stance (P Diddy etc etc) Whistle , but I find it uncomfortable.

???????????????????????????????????????????

I'm 6'4" and it was fine for me, once I'd found the right settings and stored them away. New owners often seem to complain about the seats being uncomfortable. A lot of times though, you just need to spend a short time playing with the controls until you find something suitable.... Very Happy

Im 6'5" and i find the seats very comfortable, and my head is nowhere near the roof lining, i do tend to have the seat as low as possible and a passenger cant comfortably sit behind me as i have the back tilted right back.

You may just need to try the seat in different positions while driving, what might not be comfortable to start with might help your spine and neck over a period of time Thumbs Up some of my Previous cars

Ireland 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

I'm 6'4" and fairly wide, so I find the seat a struggle , ( the best were in the P38 aggg all that connolly hide!). I test drove the non - sunroof and have teh sunroof version, would skip the sunroof version in exchnage for the head room. Worried about neck damage in any sort of minor prang as theres no room for me head to go anywhere. RRS HSE TDV8 Java black/Ebony interior, mud flaps,20" stormers, towing, roofrack,sunroof,cooler V8 Tasmods Sills,black badges, carstyling java black vents
