Is Your Boxster Comfortable?

[Whippy]

I've owned very many Porsche cars and the answer to your question (not to annoy this model specific forum) is.... NO, its not a comfortable car.... relatively speaking! Even speaking in Porsche terms my 928 is like driving a suite of the most comfortable furniture ever made. My old Cayenne is pretty comfortable with an upright seating position.

A few days after I bought mine I travelled on a 500 mile round trip and when about an hour from home I got really tired so I pulled into a motorway service lay by, parked up and grabbed the seat control to put the seat back and have a few ZZzzzzzz..... the rest you can figure out!

It's not an S class merc or a 7 series BMW though and offers a different skill set entirely to what these cars offer a buyer! The 'long lads' here have said they are comfortable in theirs so I'd listen to them but I'd urge any prospective buyer to drive any car on their list for a good while before they put their money down... i.e. make your own mind up man!

I think I that I need to clarify my question.

My question should have been, "is your boxster SEAT and seating position comfortable?" I apologize for not being more clear and I thank everyone for the replies.

I have a few other vehicles for other purposes that are very comfortable for long trips and such. This car will be for a 21 mile commute each way to work. This commute is over winding, hilly, VERY sparsely traveled farm road. The kind of road that city dwelling sports car drivers sometimes spend their Saturday driving away from the city in search of.

A car such as the Boxster can make this commute lots of fun, but if the seat or its position are annoying, it will take some of the fun out of it. Our test drive was interrupted on Saturday preventing me from investigating the seat further. Hopefully when I go back with the info I received from you guys I can adjust the seat.

Thanks again for all the great replies. I tend to believe that there is something broken about that seat.
