    Hi folks new to the forum. Just bought a 2026 se hybrid. Finding the driver seat uncomfortable as I suffer with bad back pain. Wondering if others have had the same issue. Thanks

    Not sure if your SE gives you full power seat controls, I got a tip once from my chiropractor to raise up the front lip of the seat, which kind of lifts the default position of your knees and I guess relieves lower back pressure. This is not the height of the entire seat, but just the height of the very front part of the seat. My XLE also has lumbar support so when I'm having back issues, I also adjust that part of the seat.

    There's all kinds of products you can put on a car seat to make it more comfortable. As always with back issues get details on what your doctor, physical therapist and chiropractor think will work best for you.
