New A7 - Love it but having seat comfort issues

[gta7]

Hey guys - new here and just picked up an 2016 A7 Prestige heavily optioned with the s-line package.

Love the car was trying to decide between an A8, A6 and A7, landed on the 7.

I have an hour commute each way and about 30 minutes in my lower back starts hurting and it gradually gets worse.

I am having a lot of trouble finding a comfortable position and have no idea how to make the right adjustments, not sure what helps and what makes it worse.

As you could imaging its highly stressful given the cost of admission to have painful ride.

Please let me know if you have thoughts or best practices on trying to find the right spot.

Thanks!

If you are unable to find the right combo, you could try getting an aftermarket lumbar support....some of them will even "strap in" and be more permanent-feeling.

I find the C7 seats uncomfortable as well.

I thought my 7 has lumbar support and adjustment for seats? Are you saying these are not satisfactory....? Then I guess I would agree going aftermarket.

This is why I ended up returning my A6 within the first week. I now have an S6 with comfort seats though I am sure the sport seats would have been fine as well. The seats in the A6 / A7 are horrible.

which seat do you have would be a good start, comfort or sport?

That's why I traded my A7 for an A8 with comfort seats, now in a S6 with comfort seats, far superior. Disappointing how back the standard seats are in the C7.

Are you guys saying that the "standard" diamond-stitching, high-back sport seats in the S6 are no good? I may be ordering soon, so this is important to me.

No, those are comfortable too. It is the stock and ventilated, non-sport and non-comfort seats in the A6/76 that blow.
