Does anyone experience a left hip nagging pain after driving this car for about 30min. or more?

 

Is that a 6MT or 5AT. I meant, do you operate clutch with the left foot?

 

No and I just completed 5 hours of driving to phoenix and back the day after (another 5 hours)
Aside from almost getting pulled over while going very fast, the entire trip was very good.

 

I get pain on the right side. It can sometimes get pretty bad and last for a couple of hours afterward.

 

Do you carry a wallet in your back pocket? If so, I would recommend trying to drive without it and see if you still experience the pain.

 

I was going to mention the same thing. Wallet. I put mine in the cubby below the radio and my T616 in the cubby below that.

 

You have a problem with your hip. I suggest you try a chiropractor.

 

do you drive w/ur left hand, and lean to the right a bit?

I duno about you, but I did that w/my accord (that sadly got totalled) and I used to get pain there, it wasn't bad, but j/annoying.. hehe.

try sitting up straight =)

 

GO SEE A DOCTOR!!!!!

 

I have absolutely no problems, in fact I find the seat extremely comfortable. I did a five hour drive yesterday and had no problems at all.

 

The G35 has the same problem, more than the TL, people complain about it like crazy on the G35 Forums.

 

Yep. Visit a chiropractor at your own and your wallets risk!!

 

Better yet. Go see vtechbrain. His advice is free and you get someone with a brain.

 

I don't work with whole living people. Only portions of the living and whole dead people! I do tell other doctors what to do all the time though! Weird isn't it? I also feel obliged to inform the public when they do dumb medical decisions like visiting a chiropractor which is the modern equivalent of the snake oil peddler! Or buying expensive synthetic oil or spending 70 bucks on a dumb wax! For the first stuff you go to school for a ton of years for the other its just plain old experience and reading material that is not just commercials!

 

Wow I'm impressed. Didn't go to medical school and can tell doctors what to do. Now here is a true genius.

 

I did go to medical school and 6 years of residency, not only that I attended the worlds most famous hospital for it. You never know who's working the other keyboard do you? Plus most docs are not into advertising their proffesion, personally I consider bragging about your higher educational level in bad taste. I'd rather lay low and watch other fools make asses of themselves

 

Don't listen to them.....we all know your brain is made of more than just vtec knowledge

 

Excuse me, I always thought profesion had one f.

 

It does, but if you are so freaking smart....why didn't you correct him and told him that it also has 2 ss......

 

I do too. I think it is a factor on how wide your ass is. If you ride up on the side bolster this might be the cause. I had this happen in my Honda Accord too. But after about two months both me and the seat adjusted to each other and the problem went away.

 

Classic!

 

You're bursting all my bubbles! Next you're going to tell me that using Slick50 won't give me +15HP and increase my engine life by 100%??

 

Nope, I don't have leg pain when I drive. You probably really should talk to your doc.

 

I've got bad news and worse news for you.

1) You are getting old.

2) It gets worse.

 

We're going to have to ask chicks with wide booties about this!

 

I went to medical school, not secretarial trade scholl, sh*t, there goes th typing handicap agian!

 

Back to some serious conversation:
I constantly had pain in my right leg with my old 00 TL. Adjust the seat with the front tilting up and the hip tilt down to support my thigh, and the pain went away. I have driven two long distance return trips and no pain in the 04 TL with the adjustment above. My 0.02cents.

 

didn't feel any kind of pain while i was test driving new TL

also I have '99 AV6 and have no pain on my legs while I'm driving

I just finished my an hour and half trip to skoo and it was great trip

I weight 205 lb and 6 ft tall

 

Seriously folks, no seat will fit every but to perfection. I personally think the TL, accord and TSX have come as close to butt holding perfection as you can get. BTW, BMW also makes fantastic seats and the leather is better too (Yes I've said it!!!they do have better leather!).

 

Unless your extremely short (5'1 or something), QUIT laying the seat so far down. I see SOO many ricers doing this and it's funny. Some can't even see over the steering wheel they got it laid so far back. Makes them look like they are 16 instead of cool. My wife is 5' and after she drives my car it looks like a kid has been in there. She has the seat back laid so far back so that the airbag won't kill her should she get in an accident. I understand but think that if she sat more upright, she would have a better chance of avoiding any such accident in the first place. Of course, I'm a man so I am wrong in her eyes!

 

You are just one wonderful and marvelous person and you should continue telling yourself and everyone else that.

 

Ibet yuo kown how to tipe!!!

 

I'm a rocket scientist working for NASA, the world's most famous space agency.

 

I had some issue with the seat and legs until I adjusted the hieght of the seat. It took the pressure off the back of my thighs.
Perhaps this may help you.

 

But do you now how to tipe? Hey, what about the explioden shuttls?

 

I just love people who always have to have the last word. A testament to your magnificence.

 

Why do you think we spend our time BSing on these sites? We have to get the final word somewhere. Its a p*ssy whipped guy thing! My pipi is bigger than your pipi!!!! IF you are going to get stressed out or have a fragile ego, car enthusiast sites are not for you. This is a place for those with at least a little bravado and quite a bit of chutzpatz.

 

Shut up already about nothing and get to the topic.

I agree with 'ndabunka' on all the 'cool dudes' sitting cockeyed to one side with one hand slung over the wheel and peeking through the wheel & the dash. I also had some lower back pain when I first bought the car because it had tendency to let you slump a little. I pumped up the lumbar support and got the back up more straight and the back pain went away. This driving positoin puts me in a an upright with a good control of the steering wheel (at 10 & 2) and good visibility over the car. Try this and see what happens.

 

I just love it when people write this, and they are also trying to get the last word

 

Must concentrate, must concentrate, bad boy off topic again!!!!
Ergonomics not dummies with lexuses..... Yes sit up straight pump the lumbar and hold the steering wheel at 10 and 2 very sensible indeed!!!!................must humiliate Lexus owners...... no bad smeagle, baaaaad; Hobbitses good!!! Golum, Golum!
