Default 2007 Drivers seat problem

Picked up my 2007 GT in April, leather trim with power/heated seats. The drivers seat (with airbag option) is very uncomfortable to sit in when compared to other 05-07's. My 66 and 70 are more comfortable!!!
Anybody else have this problem...or heard about it? Ford won't help.

Not I actually find them quite comfy for leather. And I love the adjustments.The only problem was the seat belt issue, as I am 5'4" and it was cutting off the circulation to my head! Fixes that with a simple $3 part from walmart.

What do you mean by uncomfortable??? Seating position??? Width of the seat? Seat height?

Feels like it's twisted, most uncomfortable in the upper part of the ribs. like it's moving your spine in an "S" shape.[:@]

Problem is, comfort is entirely subjective. How does it compare to the same seats in other Mustangs? Maybe you could do some comparitive measurements to prove that it is not manufactured correctly.

Yep, my local club is meeting this weekend so I'm bringing my tape measure and level...hopefully I can build a "case" to get Ford to help. Thought about renting a car with the same interior.....

Or maybe take a new one with a similar interior for a test drive...

Must be something going on with the seat. I have a GT premium and the leather seatsare very comfortable but they do not have the side air bags.

I'm 6'4" andfind my leather, side air bag, seat to be very comfortable indeed. But you know, we are all different shapes and sizes so it's all very objective. Maybe my neighbour would find my seats cripplingly uncomfortable.....

That's where the problem started, I drove another 07 for a week while we waited for delivery on this one...no problems.
