Backbreaker seats
 
Hi--bought a 2002 Impreza STi wagon just over a month ago. It's a super little car, very peppy, with great performance. Its one real drawback are the very hard, uncomfortable seats. After a long car ride, I have back pain for days. An inflatable lumbar support cushion helps a little, but it's not enough. I have never had this problem with previous cars. Has anybody else here had a similar experience? My 80-year old father came along on my last car trip, and he had no back pain whatsoever!
Any suggestions re. back supports/ cushions, or possibly replacing the seats would be greatly appreciated! :)

From what I read, the WRX seats aren't exactly more comfortable, are they? ;) Everything else about my new car is wonderful--just not the seats. Maybe there's just something wrong with my back...
