Help on finding a car with good seats and high roof

Hi guys. I'm suffering from a back injury that just seems to get worse and worse.

I am unable to sit in my own car now without pain and discomfort which I believe is due to the slight inclination of the seats (tilting down towards the back).

So I was wondering if anyone knows of any cars that have seats that are more parallel to the floor or maybe more ergonomic seats with good back support.

Also because I am tall, I need good head room. If I put any kind of seat cushion on my current car I am touching the ceiling.


Thank you for your help.

Drive a few volvos and mercedes, I really like their seats. I find the e90 3 series has a seat that's pretty parallel to the ground.

if you need good fuel econ as well then Nissan Cube is the only choice for that stadium like head room. Driver's seat has seat bottom angle/height adjustment and the seat is soooo damn cushy like you won't believe it.



When you park it up against a RX350 or other SUVs you will find that the roof is comparable in height, but the seat is at a normal car like position, yielding you extreme amount of real estate inside, vertically speaking.

look at that headroom in action:

I sell a lot of Escapes and Flexes exactly because of older or disabled people who find they have the most supportive seats. It's worth checking them out.

You should try sitting in a F150 or a Silverado/Sierra 1500

I'm 6'0 tall and can get in and out without much bending of my back. lots of room in the cab

Anything remotely sporty is going to have a bucket type of seat.. which is exactly the kind of seat you think you have now and which will give you back pain if you have a back injury. What you need is a truck-like seat, like what an F150 or Escape or Flex has. (NOT designed to be a sporty vehicle) You may need to explore beyond sedans in order to get the kind of seat you are looking for.

My suzuki sx4 has a ridiculous amount of headroom, which is weird for a Japanese sub compact.

I've had no problems with my seats during my 5 hour road trip to osoyoos each way. I also love the fold down arm rests.

Good car for the price

Some of the best seat's I've sat in were in an Audi A3 or S3. Though I'm not sure on the headroom portion.

I find mid range cars have good seats, my mom has a Civic like thing, and the lumbar support is just plain shit, i can't drive that thing more than 20-25 minutes without getting a sore back, back's sore from a combination of two accidents.

What i would recommend is anything with full adjustability and i find leather is more comfy than cloth seats.

Even between similar cars like the G35 and the 350z the seats are quite different. i never get tired in my G35, even though it's a bit sporty-ish, but my point is any mid range or entry level luxury car is what i'd aim for.

I would suggest a Golf or GTi, they are probably pound for pound the best daily drivers for your dollar. The new Jetta's are garbage though.
