I love it when a car has seats that can be adjusted to suit every height, leg length, torso length, width, etc. Feels so luxurious sitting in a driver seat that feels tailor made for you. Just look at how many different ways you can adjust our 2009 Infiniti FX50's driver seat! If you can't find a comfortable position here then you probably won't find one anywhere. And thanks to the Sport package we also get power bolster adjustment and thigh support (for both driver and passenger). Of course since I'm more apt to use the FX50 in rush-hour traffic than for some canyon carving, the only action those power buttons see is when I'm bored sitting at a red light playing "Just how snug can I get it?"

I know! There's something satisfying about it like a sigh of relief. Heh.

There are adjustable bolsters on my G35S sedan and they're also useful on long trips when you just want to change the feel of your driving position. I'm average height and weight, and the bolsters can get surprisingly snug if that's how you like it.

Does that plastic feel as cheap as it looks?

I think it just looks like that in the video, I have seen them in person and they feel high quality.

My 1993 Ford Explorer XLT with 212k (2 trim levels down from the top-of-the-line Limited) had inflatable side bolsters and inflatable front bolsters.
What's so spectacular about this extremely overpriced piece of junk having these?

1. There aren't too many vehicles that offer this.
2. Your 93 Ford Explorer may have them, but I doubt that they are as supportive or look as nice as the ones in the FX.

I wish my car had inflatable side bolsters.
These days many seats are made for fat people.
I want the seat to be narrower with adjustable side bolsters.

And let's not forget the seat/thigh extensions. They may make a BIG difference in comfort on those loooong drives.
