Seats Adjustments? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello,

Who can tell me something about the seat ajustments?

Hight adjustment? Tilt? Back support? Leg room?

Things like that......

Driver's Seat - 6-way power
Passenger's Seat - 2-way power
Head room front/rear - 37.4/35.3
Leg room front/rear - 42.4/29.9
Shoulder room front/rear - 56.9/42.5

I know this doesn't answer all of your questions, but I hope that it helps.

Both seats have power recliners, drivers seat can be had with power up/down and for/aft as well.

No adjustment for lumbar in the seat back.

Leg room in the front is very generous. If I go full rear I can't drive the car and I'm 6'.

Seats (cloth and leather are very comfortable).

How can they leave out LUMBAR ??

On the base LS and maybe 1LT I can understand, but on the 2LT & 2SS top line Heated Leather seats that even have "Power Recline" this makes no sence !!

I'm guessing there are a lot of potential Camaro buyers over the age of 40 and a large percentage of us old farts probably NEED LUMBAR.

I'm 46 and lived without it until 2004, but since then I'm hooked. I drive 400 miles a week in my Mustang (w/Lumbar) and also drive a minivan down to Florida once a year (without lumbar) and I now need a back adjustment before AND after the trip !! Next van will definitely have Lumbar !!

Could do without power "RECLINE" ... not to difficult to do this manually, but NO LUMBAR, this is a big ooops !!

Mustang Premium & Genesis coupe both have it on drivers seat ("power" on Mustang / "manual" on Genesis), Challenger supposedly has "manual" lumbar adjustment on both front seats.

Don't mistake no lumbar adjustment with no lumbar support. The seats are great in that department, at least to my back.

Even for us over 40 old farts?

The only thing I can think of when I read this is whenever somebody has to climb in back. Does the passenger seat have some speedy way to move it forward or

are you just gonna have to push the forward button............................................ ...................Wait........................... .................................................. .Wait............................................. .................................................. ....................................Wait.......... .................................................. .......There it is, climb in........................Start returning seat to original position....................wait.................. .................................................. .........................Wait..................... .................................................. .....go ahead and sit because your tired of waiting.....Continue moving seat back to desired position.......................................... ......................Continue.................... .................................................. .........Finally there.

Do you know what I mean?

I am in that club.

Spent two 1000 plus mile days in Number 3 to and from California with out a problem. Normally, that would have been tough duty. But the seats in the base car are outstanding IMHO.

Yes, I know what you mean. There is no quick release mechanism.

Passenger seat is manual so you can slide it at any speed you want.

So lemme get this straight. On the passenger seat...The actual seat back is power. But the seat forward and back location is a manual lever like every other car on the planet? If that is true then that's great!

Gee, some people can't get into the back seats fast enough, can they???
LOL
