Are Cayenne seats notoriously uncomfortable?

Are Cayenne seats notoriously uncomfortable?
Yeah, both my wife AND I feel discomfort after about 2 hours of driving. I feel it in my feet and legs and she says her leg/*** gets numb...
We drove to Costa Mesa from Ventura County on Sunday and are now dreading long roadtrips... I notice even in the passenger seat I'm uncomfortable, seems like my legs are deflected slightly to the right by the center tunnel.
Are the sport seats better?
Almost feels like the floor is too HIGH?
And NO I don't have memory seats... so once I lose a good position when wifey drives I'm back to square 1.
Hmmmm... maybe that CLS55 I've been eyeing might make me happy. Maybe a lease...

FWIW, all of my other Porsches had more comfortable seats than my 'former' Cayenne.

Quite a different vehicle compared to the Cayenne. What's stopping you?

Agree, the seats are getting very unconfortable when driving a couple of hours. The Recaro seats of my older cars are way more comfortable.
If you ever tried the ventilated massage seats of the MB S Class you know what real comfort is. But i dont know if the massage function is available in the CLS as well..

I regularly drive 3.5 hour trips sometimes twice in a day and find the seat very comfortable, I guess its very subjective as lewis says. I find the 996 seats VERY uncomfortable in comparison, but that may be the actual seating position.
You need to raise the seats up.

However I did go to dinner one night in a Mercedes Maybach (back before it was shown to the public).....that was a fun night.
The 18 way adjustable/heated/ventilated/massage seats in the back of that thing set the standard for seat comfort. The car is impressive.

Oh oh,
Time to start another post on a brand new mod for all Cayennes.......

Sacrifices your rear seat bench but dan be upholstered in any matching leather color.
Doesn't matter whether you have air, springs, or 26" wheels, you'll always have a comfortable ride.

Must be a personal thing. I have many 15 hour days under my belt behind the wheel of the Cayenne. I find it to be exceedingly comfortable for long drives. I have previously owned an MB S600 with the ventilated power massage chairs and don't recall them being any better (for me) than the standard Cayenne seat.

my main complaint is that my throttle foot feels bent the wrong way. It feels like my toes are bent towards my knee. I guess I could try raising the seats height and moving the seat BACK, but I'm only 5'11" and don't know why the seat needs to be so far back.
I wonder if the bolster under the knees is a contributor? If the seats too low, I can't see my front fender and I feel like I'm in a bath tub, when it's to high... I feel like Im in a minivan.
Hey PORSCHE... adjustable pedals!

I do a lot of interstate driving and experience no discomfort. Can't comment on MB. Never owned one, never will. BMW, however, is a different, passionate story :-D

The Cayenne seats are only uncomfortable for those who resist conforming to the vehicle. It is a hind quarter's mindset.
