Butt pain mg5 trophy

Yep. I had EXACTLY this issue. Left butt cheek. And I figured out what it was....

Years of driving a manual, my left leg was working the clutch. And now it has nothing to do. And I've had it placed flat on the footrest to the left of the pedals. And between the position of the rest, and my natural habit to keep my foot elevated instead of placing my heel on the ground, I was getting a PITA from it.

Similar problem, used to auto driving so no left foot problem, but not used to Auto-Cruise so right foot now poised-lurking nervously.

I cut out the left foot rest triangle thingy and it's easier now.

What did you replace it with please? Any pictures?

I was thinking of replacing it with a smaller rest but I did not - it's now just blank.
I couldn't rest my left leg with that large 'rest' in place -

Ok - the car is ideal for shorter people than me - I'm over 183cm (6 foot) and therefore I could not stretch out my left leg - now it's not too bad.

I might see if I can replace the original with a smaller one - if I can get time to play around with it.

Had the mg5 for about 2 months and find the leather seat rather hard and difficult to get comfortable in. My left butt gets a dull pain from driving for >30 mins. Does anyone else experience the same problem?

Funny I have the same problem it feels as if a very heavy driver has taken the car a long run to china and back was also thinking of a padded cushion- but opinion - should not be needed...
