Just because a seat is firm it doesn't mean it's uncomfortable over a long distance/many hours. When I was at work my "ergonomic" office chair had no padding at all.

I have driven an X1 with sports seats for 6 months and absolutely no issues and I'm over 6 feet.(and I drive on UK roads which are not smooth and many have speed humps/potholes).

I did need to do some experimentation, to get the ideal position - which is quite high, with the wheel close to the dashboard.

IMO if you want to drive around in a big comfy armchair, you probably shouldn't be buying a firm riding, compact SUV like the X1.

As always the key is have a decent test drive.
