I’m curious how people adjust their seats - ie more of a laying back position or more upright. Sitting with a straight up-down back is way more straining on a lower back vs moving the seat closer and leaning back more. Too bad there isn’t an objective metric, like incrementally adjusting a sound system, for us to compare seat positions.
I generally find plush and more upright seats extremely uncomfortable and like the 14-way on our Panamera and on our Taycan. I’ve done multiple 2k or 3k mile road trips in the Panamera and feel fairly refreshed afterwards. Have done similar length road trips in SUVs with more upright seating positions and I need a couple days to recover afterwards due to the pressure on my lower back.
It’s similar to riding a hybrid/fitness bike vs a road bike. I always thought a hybrid bike with a plush seat would be more comfortable on the lower back but it’s way easier to log miles with a road bike due to a seating position that takes the vertical pressure off your spine.
