Hi

I have test driven my first Volvo this afternoon, it was a 2002 V70 with leather seats.
The seat was missing some lower back support for me to get a comfortable driving position.

Are all the seat have the same shapes in Volvo? Or was this car's seat a bit tired?
Are cloth seat more rigid, i.e less like an armchair?

Should I try a cloth seat or forget about Volvos, which would be a shame?

Cheers

Jack

As a delivery driver I've driven almost everything, and always been comfortable in a V70 - one of the reasons why I bought one.
Not sure about spec levels, but mine (a T5'CD') has a lumbar adjustment knob on the inner side of the backrest.
