Replying to: jg585 (May 17, 2008 6:56 am) I have a 2007 Lucerne with 30000 miles. I have a lower back problem and the seats in the Lucerne made my back ache. I could only drive for a short while before I had to get out of the car and stretch. I told my chiropractor what was happening and he walked me out to my car. He saw the problem immediately when I sat in the car. It seemed that no matter how I position the seats the same problem persisted with my lower back. My knees were higher than my hips which put all the pressure on the discs in my lower back. My weight was not evenly distributed. I couldn't straighten my legs out all the way due to my 6'4" frame, and I couldn't raise the seat all the way because my head hit the roof. I put a pillow on the seat and back of the seat as he suggested so that my hips would not sink down into the seat and at least my hips and knees were the same height and that seemed to solve the problem. Since then I have tried not only Buicks but Cadillacs and the seat problem was the same. By the way I do otherwise love the car. I just can't drive anywhere without my pillow.

Replying to: jef4 (May 18, 2008 8:05 pm) i am 5' 7". my bottom was in agony. my lower back was so bad i could barely walk. i would like to think it was NOT psychosomatic as i have since acclimated to the car, but it was an absolute nightmare. my girlfriend gave me a Homemedics auto seat cushion which saved my bacon. As i said, the most comfortable car i ever owned was a Bonneville. A piece of junk, but comfortable. my warantee is up at 50,000 mi. already i am looking at Avalons. no doubt you have considered all sorts of alternatives. An SUV, perhaps? Good luck jg585
#15 of 16 Lucerne Seats? by newbuick May 29, 2008 (4:37 am)
I guess the seats in a car are quite subjective. When i had my Avalon, i also had to buy Homedic seats for me and my wife. Could not even think of driving to Fla without my Homedic helpers. Bought the Lucerne and the Homedic seats are in the garage somewhere, certainly not needed. Best of luck with the seat issues all.   Joe
