Most so called "head rests" are really head restraints meant to save your neck from whiplash. Read your owners manual on how to adjust them. [&:]

Wow, really? Never thought about the headrest, which I feel is really there in case of a rear end collision, kind of an anti whiplash device, I never rest my head on it. (In any car). I'll try it though...BTW I gotta say the seats in this car are one of the most comfortable I've felt in any car though...ever!

Exactly... "head rest" is a misnomer. More like "head restraint." They're there to keep you from breaking your next in a rear-end collision.

I'm 6'3". My head came to the top of the rest and due to the angle, this pushed forward on the back of my head. Iraised it up some and problem solved. It is an excellent head rest but needs to be adjusted if you are tall.

I thought the headrest was really weird at first, and Itoo hopedI could change its angle.I'm only 5'5, but found that after adjusting the seat up, down, back, angle, etc with the electric buttons, I got it just right and now I don't have to raise the head rest or feel like I need to change its angle whatsoever. So here's a vote for the Power 6-way drivers seat option.

BTW, I still haven't mastereda ponytail yet, however

I thought I read on one of these forums that a product is made that allows the stock headrests to be tilted forward or backward. Do a little research and you should find it.
