    just got my 2013 Prius2 liftback a few weeks ago, and like it a lot, especially the fuel economy, quite a bit better than expected. I am a courier and have already put 5000 miles on. this is the perfect car except one thing, I hate the seat! it has no back support at all, unfortunately, by back didn't inform me until well after i got it. in fact I didnt even know it was the car seat doing it. I thought maybe i strained it or something, but i drove my ford ranger for a couple days, and it got better, then i got back in the car, and within two hours my back was killing me. I asked at the dealer if anyone else had this problem, and they said no. now I use a cushion behind my back and that helps. is there a better fix for this? does anyone else have this issue? maybe it is just all the time in the car, 8 hours plus every day. But this is by far the worst seat i have had.

    Ooooops, sorry about the double post, thought it didn't post the first time!

    Welcome aboard!

    I find the seat adequate but I know many here have sought out fixes. Try the search function or even Google on the subject.

    Welcome and congrats on your new car. I have no problem with the seat but others have and are very vocal about it. Enjoy your new car.
