So I love my little PC, however at 6'3, the seats are terrible on my hamstrings on drives over 30 minutes. Given I bought he car to save money, this is an issue. I have been looking at recaro seats out of smaller vehicles like an evo. Has anyone managed to replace their seats? What about airbag sensors? Someone please help!
Have you tried adjusting the seat height; the driver seat is 4-way adjustable. I had to lower mine to the lowest setting and move it back a bit for leg room; I'm 6'. I wish there were more room in the dead peddle area for taller people. Hopefully others can chime in on your aftermarket options.
I don't think it will be practical to try and replace the front seats. The both the driver and front passenger seat incorporate side airbags, and seat cushion airbags. The front passenger seat also has the occupant classification system built in. Refer to attached file. *4 SRS Seat Cushion Airbag LH (Front Seat Cushion Airbag Assembly LH) *5 SRS Seat Cushion Airbag RH (Front Seat Cushion Airbag Assembly RH) *6 SRS Side Airbag LH (Front Seat Side Airbag Assembly LH) *7 SRS Side Airbag RH (Front Seat Side Airbag Assembly RH)
Thank you everyone - I am being relocated and am just going to sell the vehicle. I almost had the seats modified and that seemed like a huge issue for resale. It was a great experience learning from this crowd, if anyone can pass along my FS ad I would appreciate it.
I'm 6'2" and don't have too much trouble with the seat. I have it all the way back and pumped all the way down. It's leaned back considerably, as well.
I love my PC also but they are the worst seats I've ever had in my life, they offer NO back support. I recently had a Yaris rental which is has the same chase the Preus is built on, the seats are very comfortable in the Yaris I wonder if I could replace my seats with those.
