Seat alignment
I've had the car for about 4 months now and love the drive and quality of the car, but one thing really bugs me and that's the seat. I don't seem to sit in the centre of the seat, no matter what I do I always seem to be leaning to one side of the seat. Does anyone else find that themselves leaning to one side?

Wishing you a speedy recovery, SnagIt. Although with the weather coming your way, you're probably better off staying put. Not to get too graphic but in April 2011, I had C4 to C7 worked on that left me with 2, 5" titanium rods and 8 screws in place. I was told it was the result of too many rear enders in the NYC area. Ironically, all three accidents occurred on sunny, clear days. Amazing considering I drove to work everyday in all sorts of inclement weather. Go figure.

I completely agree that the seat does not align with the searing wheel. Infact, after 3 months I had quite bad back pain and I had to continuously re-adjust the seat to find a comfortable position. I expect this is why they provide a comfort pack, which can not be retro fitted unless you go through a huge expense. I had a A4 previously which had the same alignment issue, but the seat was much better.
On the other hand, with My BMW I didn't even think about the seat, its aligned, comfortable and does not require a second thought (even the standard/ basic seats provided).
Whats worse, and only noticed this after a few weeks of driving, is that the arm rests are at a different level. the centre arm rest is higher than the door arm rest. the window seal hasn't got a proper lip to rest me elbow
Ok rant over.
