SLK 55 R171 Seats SUCK!!!
These have to be the most uncomfortable seats ever. I am 5' 11" and have tried every position available to try and get comfortable on any driving over a short commute. I love the car!!! F**k my *** hurts after any longer drives. Anyone else have this problem or a solution...

The seats feel uncomfortable for the first 2 months then you will get used to it. You had a car with softer seats before probably. I also have a CLK 55, when i drive it after driving my SLK55 it feels like I am in a Rolls Royce.

I'm 6'2 260 lbs. and I don't find them that bad. I drove a round trip from New Jersey to Michigan (10 hours each way) with no ill effects. Sure they are not the most comfortable seats, but that's not the nature of the car. And the seats are certainly more comfortable than my girlfriend's Lotus Elise :-)

The SLK 55 aren't bad. My wife's SLK 350 has the manually adjustable seats and they're terrible. I can't find a comfortable position.

Not as comfortable as the seats in my S, but not many car seats can compare to those.
As far as a small roadster, these seats are just fine & I am 6'1"
Even after getting used to the seats in the S, I have no complaints about the SLK 55's seats & I have had the car for over three years now
