SEATS

the seats in the 2012 honda crosstour i just leased are horrific. they are extremely uncomfortable and the positioning encourages poor postural habits and cannot be tolerated for any length of time. i took my car on a 3500 mile business trip and was crippled the entire time and almost couldn't drive home. i've put a large sum of $ down to lower my monthly payments and am now stuck with a car that's excruciating to drive. i've owned honda's in the past and was very happy with their longevity, fuel economy and comfort overall. i never this coming-shame on you-honda! i've also driven a 2012 pilot (for 4.5 hours) and they were similar in design only not quite as uncomfortable-but still unacceptable! every attempt i've made to bolster, pad, lift, release or otherwise "fix" with padding, pillows, foam etc. has been unsuccessful. while padding with minimal foam, it raises me in a position where my view is obstructed and my head hits the ceiling. i'm only 5'7" and not large. i have also enlisted the help of a local upholsterer to assist me but we've reached the end of ideas to assist me.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

i was traveling down the interstate when there was a boom above our car and then what sounded like ice falling down the back of the car. when i pulled the sunroof shade back a bit i realized the sunroof had shattered. the dealership was a couple miles away. when i pulled in and looked into the sunroof, i expected to see a rock or something but there was none. we had not passed under any bridge. most of the sunroof had broken into little small geometric pieces. the edges of the hole in the sunroof looked like it was crumbling.
