Hey, there, I'm talking about the SEAT bottoms. I know what happens with age... In fact, that is some of the reason I ask. I'm less than happy with my 960 seats but they're still more comfortable than most modern cars. My 764 had great seats, surpassed only by my 262, and that had the greatest seats I've ever sat in in a car.
The biggest factor in seat comfort (IMHO) is the seat bottom length - they have become shorter in length and therefore do not reach under the knee. That added stress on the legs makes one tired on long trips. And I have short legs; I cannot imagine the discomfort of others who own longer legs. My Toyota Camry suffered this fate - in order to make more "room" in the car, the seats were small - quite uncomfortable on long journeys.
Seats in cars annoy me as they're often a design afterthought and with the way Volvo seats have changed through the years (comfortable but quite prone to failure for the power versions) it got me thinking to ask about design modifications historically speaking.
And, while we're talking seats, the plastic on my 960 seats is cracking like peanut brittle - what crap~! Did Volvo ever fix this on the more recent models?
