pbeckner Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 :( I am a new member and recently purchased my 4th Lexus. I have had ES300 in the past and have been very happy. About 2 months after buying my GS I started to have back problems which were diagnosed as a bulging disk. Since then I have determined to my satisfaction that it is the seat design on the GS. I can drive an LS, and ES or my wife's Camry without pain, but have pain as soon as I sit in my GS. Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you find a way to cure it? The GS is a great car, but I can't even sit in mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewname Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Try to tinker with the lumbar support... I can't accept that the seats are that dramatically different between models. Hope your back gets better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I have a bulging herniated disk as well in my back, yes the seats of the GS are NOT designed well for people who have similar back problems to ours. I can drive my ES for hours, or my dad's LS, but I test drove a GS and I was in pain after a 20 minute test drive. It was one huge deciding factor for the ES. Unfortunately I dont know of much you can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
