Honestly that's hard to say. I love my GTI and have no size/seating issues which is the exact same size as the EX30. I think it's more about how the car is packaged in some cases and not how big the outer shell of the car is.

For sure, life lesson learned for me. I actually pre-ordered a Volvo EX30 yesterday and will test drive it before committing fully. My preference for car size living in a city but having 2 young kids with forward facing carseats is actually exactly what my old GTI is. The EX30 is almost...

I found a couple similar comments elsewhere in other forums and what I find interesting is that I might actually be in this awkward middle zone where my hips are neither narrow enough to fit between the bolsters, nor wide enough to sit "on" them, which ironically may be more comfortable than the...

Yes, I may end up trying this approach, but I'm very hesitant to modify the vehicle as my solution may end up being to trade it in instead in the coming year(s) vs keeping it long term.

I hear you on the headrest. To give people a sense for what I mean when I say I have a long torso -> for me, the headrest is a neck rest. the curve of the headrest actually fits the curve of the back of my neck nicely, so while the rest of the seat is uncomfortable, ironically the head rest...

I have tried a couple of cushions and thought about bringing it to a shop for mods. The issue with both of these is that while it could help with the bottom seat discomfort, it also raises me up for at least an inch, which further compounds my issue with not being able to sit low enough in the...

Yes, still hoping on the foam to eventually soften up a bit even after 5 months. I don't drive all that much, so there could still be a chance, fingers crossed. But I'm not banking on it...

my understanding from other threads is that this platform is structurally welded to the car and cannot be easily swapped out unfortunately (believe me I looked into it :) )

Yes, thanks, and to confirm, this is also how I (OP) have the seat set up. In general I always prefer my seats to be tilted back to alleviate back pressure (think zero-gravity chair style). That said, this does not solve my issue with the narrow bolstering towards the rear of the seat.

Hmm, interesting idea. I tried lowering the lumber position and personally I did not find that the issue went away. That said, I can imagine how, if the lumber is all the way down, and out, that it could push you forward in the seat a bit. The narrow bolster narrows towards the back of the...

After having my model y for 5 months, I have to say that I unfortunately regret my purchase, because it's just not a good fit for me. And I mean that literally. For my body, the seat is not comfortable, and I can't achieve a comfortable driving position. As I know others have discussed in...
