    Based upon previous threads discussing seats and steering wheel, poll results do not surprise me.

    I would have preferred a firmer seat bottom. I think the current bottom is too soft. Consequently my butt starts to ache after about 3 hrs driving time or so.

    That's a tough one because those bottom cushions are car specific injection molded pieces with lots of contours underneath. (they cost about $200 a pop, I've bought a couple). Maybe an upholsterer could work some magic.

    Ok, so I called in the results so far to Toyota Corporate.

    More responses appreciated.

    Thanks :)
