    Wife got a 2011 L3 Blizzard Pearl on Tuesday and by Weds her back and neck were killing her. This was due to the lack of lumbar support. So I'll be selling my 2005 Prius and bringing my lumbar pillow into the new car. I love how the car feels and the 3 new modes. I look forward to getting tips and talking with you all.

    All the seat and steering wheel adjustments weren't enough? Bummer. Advise her to test drive her next car for a week before buying. Rent one if necessary.

    Good upgrade for you... welcome aboard!

    I have my seat leaning back and find it quite comfortable.

    Your gain and your wife's loss :p Enjoy your new car.

    The number of people complaining about the seat are few and far between. I find mine very comfortable.

    Thanks fellas. I didn't know how popular this forum was. I plan on getting some new wheels to replace the factory ones. You guys think I should stick with 15" or go to 17". Would save more money by re-using the new tires.

    Stick with the 15... According to a lot of people, if you get like the 17" rims, you are dealing with a heavier wheel, which means less mpg. Or so I have read so far.
