Hi Simran,

I have not tried any cushions etc as I am not comfortable with them. My plans for a longer drive during the Christmas vacations did not materialise as we had some guests. In the local trips, I may have got used to it though every time I sit in my Marina, I realise how much better it is!

Mine is a CVT and so no clutch. But I don't remember the clutch to be that hard from my manual City test ride. The seats indeed are too soft to give enough support.

Surprise! I consider the Zen's front seats the worst in all the cars that I have owned / driven.

If I do find a solution, I would definitely let you know. But I am not actively pursuing any solutions.

All the best! Kindly let me know if it indeed solves the problem.

A very happy new year to you!
