I am finding the seat somewhat uncomfortable - Am I the only one?

On mine, by the time I hit 4000 miles it broke in a bit but more bothersome is the lack of front support. The BMW seats with the front cushion that moves further under the knee area supports the legs much better and makes driving less tiresome on the legs.

I read a number of threads about seat comfort before I test drove and sat in both seat styles. However, I deemed the test drive useless for this as I didn't even notice the seat comfort due to being captivated by the sound, acceleration, and overall beauty of the car.
Since I took the plunge, I have taken several long trips with no seat pains, although the seat is a bit firmer than anything I have driven except my previous Porsche. If you really want comfort and support, put a Volvo seat in there....best I have ever used.

Maybe he could offer this as a regular service?

most comfortable I've ever felt in a car...I'm 6'4", 175lbs. Amazing seats, in my humble opinion.

Again, an issue of personal aspect ratios. Despite my 6"-2" stature, the seat bottom extends to within 2 or 3 inches of my knee fold, and the seat angle adjustment provides whatever support I want/need. Personal lack of mass in the stern facilitates that geometry.
