I recently purchased two new 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles (one for the wife, one for me) and I absolutely agree they have the worst driver's seat I have experienced in 40 years of driving.

As for test drives, I spent 3 hours driving 10 different Santa Fe's and took one home overnight before the purchases. Cannot get comfortable in any seat position with these electric seats. I've tried foam pads to sit on and one for the seat back. Even took one to an auto upholstery shop and had them shave the bottom cushion of the driver's seat to reduce the front pitch. Still terribly uncomfortable. The first thing I do when I get in the vehicle is start adjusting the seat and I never seem to stop trying to find a good position. I've had these vehicles about 3 months now and I hate driving them so much that neither one has 400 miles on the odometer. Intended on using these for long distance trips and they seem like nice vehicles. But I can't sit in them for more than 10 minutes without my legs going numb. I know I'm going to take a $10K bath on trade-ins, but I'm already looking to get something more comfortable.
