Anyone Else Find AMG Seats Uncomfortable

Hi all

I just cant get comfortable in the AMG seats in the ML63, Im 6.0" and about 190lbs but find the seat very hard and the squab length really short, it makes my right leg (Im in the UK) ache a lot when driving, I get a burning feeling due to not being sat comfortably. Ive tried a lot of different positions, what do you guys have the seat set like to get comfortable?

This and the body roll from side to side on anything but smooth roads really spoil the enjoyment. Ive had a few Cayenne Turbo's and dont recall the rocking motion I get from the ML63 and the seat was much more adjustable.

Would appreciate some feedback from other ML63 (or GL63) owners with the standard AMG seats? Ive read that even the multi contour seat doesnt help that much either, really MB?

Carl

I have a '17 GLS 63 and I feel the same way. The thigh support of the seat doesn't come up far enough and there isn't much padding for thigh support. A really poor seat in my opinion.
