I have tried every item at the relax the back store. I was in a Toyota Dealer yesterday in Northern California, and the guy suggested that they install an adjustable lumbar support like the one in the Camry. It's $800 installed. What the F! How come after 7 months of owning the car, I haven't heard about this anywhere. Has anyone had this done? I was going to buy the wet okole covers with the inflatable bladder for $350. The Toyota is electric, so it seems like a better alternative than pumping something up. I know $800 is steep, but my back HURTS. |

I used to drive an S60R, and the seats were so freaking comfortable. How did you manage to do that????? What about the side airbags installed in the seats? |
