Standard spec seat comfort. It's good.

One of my main concerns when having any car is the seat comfort. I have quite a serious spinal problem, so seat position, support and comfort is high on my list for any car. After having bought a Ford Focus with so called 'sports' seats I found I could not drive or be a passenger in for more than 30 minutes, it really did make me ill. So ordering the Roc was a leap of faith, especially with no lumbar support, even the crappy Focus had that.
Now we had to take the very pretty Cocker Spaniel that sits in the boot to the vet for her booster jabs. I was driving and my wife went to the back to get her out and forgot the paper work which was in the glove compartment. I lent over to get it out and 'pop' my back went. Agony, when it goes it is serious. I just sat back in the seat and felt the support to my lower back, even more incredible with the DSG I was even able to continue to drive.
I got in the car today as a passenger and got out after 45 minutes feeling better than when I got in. My greatest worry about the Roc has now been well and truly laid to rest. Another thing, it rides a lot smoother than my previous Volvo.
