Re: Sprinter Cab Seats
SteveF,
I would like to ask some additional questions.
You say you are 6' tall but do you have a normal, short or long torso? I have a long torso and short legs so the relationship of my upper body in the seat and to the steering wheel might be the same as yours. I find the seat very comfortable and the the overall ergonomics quite comfortable.
Everybody is so different in their preferences that it is really hard to say what is really comfortable. The "luxury" seats are fairly adjustable with seat back, seat height (kind of lifts the front), and lumbar adjustments. The only thing you can't really control is the seat angle. Note: I lied - the seat bottom is adjustable for height and tilt, I don't know what I am talking about...The seats have fairly prominent side bolsters so they do hold you well.
Were you wondering about shape and padding? It's all fine with me. I frequently drive 400 plus mile days and then turn the seat around and sit in it some more. Like most European car seats they are firm but well shaped and now the driver's seat has broken in nicely for me. The driving experience is one of the joys of owning this Sprinter based Sportsmobile for me.
One thing to note is that if you pick the suspension seats you cannot swivel them as they are deeper and have a different base, at least that's what I was told.
If you get a chance spend some time at a dealer and adjust the seat so it fits properly and see if it works for you.
Good luck.
Chumley
