It's been 2 weeks since I took over a lease and I still can't get used to the firm uncomfortable seats, plus the fact that the fuel range is so low with sporty driving. I have back pain each time. Where can I buy a seat cover with extra padding, especially for the back and more support on top of the lower seat cushion like with Audi and BMW seats that have extensions that support your legs until your knees?
Last tank I averaged 9.6L/100 km and that's only because I did like 1/3 highway at only 90-110 km/h. Yes, even trucks were passing me. With the latest fill up I started driving like a grandmother to see how long it takes for the fuel gauge to drop below full. The last tank seemed like it had a fuel leak or running really rich; the arrow kept dropping each time I drove only 20 km trips.
Anyway I'm starting to look for another car with 6MT and better seats. The only problem is that I don't think I can get accepted for a second lease as long as I still have the current one - my income is not high enough and expenses too high.
By the way, do manufacturers' finance companies allow a lease to be transferred twice or is once the limit? Of course I understand there are transfer/admin fees each time.

P.s. I'll wait for advice on cheap solutions to improve driver's seat comfort before making any rash decisions like actually submitting another credit application.
I cannot be the first person who found stock seats incompatible for their body.

Jesus christ man the fuck up. It's a car. Made for the masses. Everytime you write something it reminds me of rick moranis from ghost busters. Do you want some cheese with your whine?

I don't understand the motivation for hurling insults in my direction when Im just posting about what's wrong with a car? I thought a confession thread was supposed to be like going to church, entering a confessional booth and spilling your guts to an empathetic priest.

Do you read yourself before posting ? If you don't, do it. You'll get the answer to your own question

I'm curious about the car model?
I had the same issue with my Civic SI 2014.
Quick test drive, liked the car, price was good. Took it!
2 months later, my back hurts like hell no sure why, investigated many things but it was really the Civic.
I traded it 18 month later when i really confirmed that it was it. I had 16 cars, it was the first to hurts that way.
I took the $ hit, no regret, my back thanks me every morning since then!

Je confesse que j'aime vraiment beaucoup conduire la Saabaru. Plus rapide et maniable que ce a quoi je m'attendais, c'est pas un "dard" comme l'Abarth surement a cause de la difference de poids car elle est beaucoup plus lourde.
J'ai hate a Mardi prochain pour mon rendez-vous pour y faire installer les pneus d'hiver car ceux dessus sont tellement finis qu'ils ont une bosse en arriere et chacun un flatspot from sitting 2yrs donc a 80~90km/h ca vibre. Donc je l'ai pas vraiment essayee H4T dans panne encore mais du peu que j'ai essaye je vais avoir du fun cet hiver.
Par contre je trouve la suspension TRES raide. On dirait un go-kart. Une chance que les bancs sont confortables, un peu durs mais plusieurs coches au dessus de l'alternative que j'avais pour cet hiver: Le Sidekick.
