The day I picked my car up (Wednesday) I noticed something that I didn't notice when driving the dealer's demo.
The drivers side right seat bolster feels as though there is hardly any padding in it. When cornering around a left hand bend (normal driving) the side of the seat where the hard plastic is dug into the top of my leg through the bolster, as if there's hardly any padding.
I didn't notice it at all in the demo, but noticed it more or less straight away after picking my car up.

Has anyone else noticed this?

BTW I'm not an odd shape, just a normal 6ft, 13 - 14 stone bloke.:p

I am not an odd shape either at 6'4'' and 19.5 stones
I feel it and make a conscious effort to slide the bum over a little to avoid too much contact
It is not a problem IMHO

It is actually a problem for me as it does hurt enough to move my body over to avoid the right bolster.
I can put up with the rattles and squeeks (we get that in any car), but to have to sit awkwardly to avoid pain isn't really acceptable in my eyes.
I could have just said, well the wife can drive, but she's got a bigger bum than me.:D

Not had this problem but noticed, as there is no height adjuster for the seat belt , that the belt chaffs over the shoulder bolster. Can't see this staying black for long.

Finally I have found the correct thread! I have the same problem but with the left side of the seat! It feels as though there is metal bar that is not covered properly.

Hoping to learn how successful others have been in dealing with this before going to my dealer. Have you been able to get this issue corrected?

I have managed to get mine sorted.

I have sold it and ordered a Porsche:D :D
