Default Love/Hate my new FEH

I've had my FEH since September and have about 5500 miles on it. mechanically, the car is great, the mileage is as advertised.

When I test drove the car, I noticed that the seats were very firm and the lumbar support hit at a spot on my back that irritates rather than comforts. It almost seems that the lumbar support, which is not adjustable, protrudes too much. I was just sure I would adjust to the seats and assumed that I would be able to find the correct set of adjustments to make me feel comfortable. After 4 months, my back is in bad shape.

I've purchased several different type of seat inserts, both memory foam and gel foam but none help, in fact they all seem to make the lunbar support more pronounced.

More than 15 or 20 minutes in the seat and my back starts to hurt. I would assume that for most people, it's just fine, so my back is the problem, not the seats.

I need to either replace the seats or trade it off.

I want hybrid technology, I need 4WD.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
