2006 LX seats
I bought a 2006 LX, which has leather seats. I found them uncomfortable
from day 1 after 15-20 minutes of driving. I tried every adjustmet
possible but it just doesn't get much better. My complaint is a
achiness in my back thighs.
I was on a business trip and was offered a sonata to rent. I figured
what the heck. It was a 2006 GX V6 with cloth seaths. I found these to
be more comfortable (more in line with my previous car), and did not
suffer from the aches.
I know the LX is supposed to have "better" seats, but this is one area
that is subjective and depends on individual body contour. But will the
lx seats "break in" (the rental had 9k miles), or will I be facing this
forever?
Are the cushions of the LX and GX the same? or is it the wrapping that
is making the LX seats appear harder?
Thanks

Re: 2006 LX seats
I can't comment on the lx vs. other models, but I agree the LX seats are
lacking. Its a shame for a car so otherwise competent. The cushiion is too
short, and the adjustment is too limited for a person my size-6'1", 250 lbs.
I have found that I have "gotten used to it" though. I like the car a lot,
but my volvo seats(exquisite) and buick seats (yes buick) seats are much
better IMO

Hyundai tends to use pretty thick leather on their seats. The downside
is that they do take time to break in, but the upside is that they
should be very durable.

My experience was just the opposite. I was going to buy the GLS but
found the cloth uncomfortable, decided to test drive the LX and found
that the leather fit me better. I have an hour commute each way to
work and have been comfortable.

Re: 2006 LX seats
My wife and I came very close to buying a 2006 Sonata GLS in December,
but ended up buying a 2006 Elantra GLS instead. Several factors
impacted this decision including the desire to pay cash rather than
financing and also the seat comfort. The front seats in the Elantra
are far more comfortable, and adjustable, than on the Sonata GLS or LX.
I always felt that I was sloping forward and down in the Sonata seat,
and just couldn't find a comforatable position. We're still in the
market for a Sonata, perhaps later in the year, but hopefully they will
rectify the seat and seat adjustments.

Re: 2006 LX seats
I have no problem with the LX leather seat but my wife is uncomfortable in
the psgr side. No thigh support. I also have a 2003 elantra with cloth
and she likes those seats fine. Am going to loosen psgr seat bolts, insert
about 3/8 inch washers on the front side which will change the pitch of the
psgr seat and should help the situation. will let youknow how it turns
out!

Re: 2006 LX seats
I have no problem with the LX leather seat but my wife is uncomfortable in
the psgr side. No thigh support. I also have a 2003 elantra with cloth
and she likes those seats fine. Am going to loosen psgr seat bolts, insert
about 3/8 inch washers on the front side which will change the pitch of the
psgr seat and should help the situation. will let youknow how it turns
out!
