Prius seats are generally functional but can be too firm o r lack lumbar support for longer drives. Some of the seat issues include:

Firmness: Seats may feel uncomfortable, especially for taller drivers o r those taking long trips.
Worn Upholstery: Fabric o r leather can show signs of wear over time.

Solutions:

Seat Cushions: Adding cushioned covers o r seat pads can improve comfort.
Lumbar Support Add-Ons: Consider aftermarket lumbar support inserts for better back support.
Reupholstery: If the upholstery has worn out, you might opt to have the seats reupholstered with higher-quality materials.
