lang Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Hi, I am looking at getting a M35, and I went and test drove one today. I am about 6 foot and even with the headrest at full height it only reached up to my neck. It felt like if I was rear-ended my neck would snap off. Other than that I loved the car, do the leather seats have a different shape/height? Do the newer revision models have taller seats? Am i the only one that has noticed this? I may have to get an aftermarket seat as I am pretty keen on an M35 Edited March 24, 2012 by lang Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395743-m35-seats/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
slippylotion Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) You must have 5ft of torso and 1 ft of legs! I'm also 6ft and with the headrest at its lowest setting the top of the headrest is about level with my ears and at its highest setting it's just below the top of my head.

lang Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 hmm, my torso is probably slightly bigger than normal, but my fiancee who is 5'11 and she has long legs, the headrest only came half way up her head at its maximum height. It looks like it has the standard non-electric cloth seats from the photos of other cars I have been looking at today.

slippylotion Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I have the cloth seats in mine and they are fine. When the car has the evidence package done to be able to comply the car in Australia, they check the head rest height and angle to comply with the ADRs. The headrests are fine.

dasic1 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Was the passenger seat the same? Maybe the cushions have been padded up, try sit in another car as well Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395743-m35-seats/#findComment-6288106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr 20Valve Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Do people actually rest their heads on the headrests? Serious question, as I don't think I've ever touched a headrest with the back of my head in the 17 years I've been driving...

pomnz Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Did you have the base of the seat lowered? I have to do this after my (short) missus has been driving otherwise I can't get comfy.

No, you are not meant to rest your head on the head rest (silly name really). They are there only to stop wiplash.
