I have an MG4 it's 8 months old I use it as a taxi the problem I'm having is that I can feel the steel frame of the driver seat through the foam on the side cushions the seat has the half leather on it I brought to the MG garage where I bought it the technician said it was OK and that's just the way the seats are , anyone else got this problem???

No problem with mine and I'm 6ft tall and 112 kg, so I wouldn't accept that it's the way the seats are unless you are larger than me.

Unfortunately that seems to a standard reply from the dealer. Oh, that's just the way it is. Or that's normal. The favourite being it's a "Characteristic"
If it goes any worse, go to the dealer again, and don't be fobbed off. Especially as apparently the seats are only guaranteed for 12 months.

Or use a seat cushion, for comfort and to help reduce wear on the seat covers?

6ft4 24stone fat man here. I must admit I do not feel the seat frame. However I have only done 9000 miles so far.
I do think the side cushions are a bit too soft and easy to wear out based on my ZS EV. Could probably do with a seat cover with increased padding.

hi ye I'm actually 108 kg and 6 ft aswel there's 17 k kilometres on the car I don't think a seat should feel like this .when I argued back to the technician I was told that's the end of discussion great customer service Not..

Currently 151.3kg but was 165kg and before than closer to 170kg. 1.83m.

I find the seat comfy enough, but I am a passenger, if that makes a difference.

Had the car since July 23.

hi it just seems to be the driver seat .it's half way down the side cushion and approx 2 inches in, I'm presuming it's the steel frame of the seat . it's like the foam isn't thick enough and I can feel something about 2 inches long .I'm also sitting in it 8 hrs a day which dosnt help but I would expect more from a new car .
