    The seats were fine. My only real complaint about the seating is that it's not especially comfortable resting my left leg except when stretched out, and I don't like to sit in one position for long so I'm always pulling my leg up.

    I am a big guy (6'3 and about 240) and I think everything about the Prius ergonomically is almost more comfortable than most cars I have driven. Admittedly I have not driven it more than about 2 hours. I am also I chiropractor, so I have a pretty "good" back.

    Actually the only ergonomic thing I have noticed is that it is nearly impossible to reach the Tune knob on the radio.

    I have a bad back, and I'm fine? Guess it doesn't fit your spine just right.
