    Many people dont realize you can pull them forward and they then pop back. Yours may have been pulled partially forward.

      My car is great, modern, amazing battery life, affordable… It has a headrest like in the OP she it is fixed. Like fused with the seat.

      The best bet is I’m quite tall, so it pokes me in the shoulder blades.

      It sucks but, other that that, it was an amazing deal when I bought it.

        I’m sure you’re aware, but that’s pretty dangerous. You will most likely have pretty bad a neck injury if you get into a wreck. It might be worth upgrading the seat to one that fits you better.

          He’ll likely have a pretty bad neck injury without the accident. Keeping your body in an unnatural alignment like that for long periods of time is just begging for spinal injury.

        I don’t understand buying a car that’s physically uncomfortable to sit in.

        It’s one thing if the seat is uncomfortable after a long drive; you’ll never get that from a test drive. But this would be bugging me from the minute I sat down, and I’d never buy a car with that issue - no matter how cheap it is, I have enough neck problems without them being exacerbated by my car.

          Rule of thumb: if it sits between you and the ground for an extended period, don’t cheap out on it or settle if you have the choice.

          Shoes, desk chair, mattress, pillow, car seat.

          Life is too short to be uncomfortable.
