You shouldnt need to get the optional lumbar support adjustment to HAVE lumbar support, just to adjust it. Then there is next to no lateral support either, its like a park bench - there is nothing to lean on around a corner - you have to use your own core muscles all the time. Hardly makes for anything resembling comfort.
Agreed, I was driving my car around today and the seats are getting so uncomfortable. Like you, I only upgraded to the leather and I didn't change it the sports seats, but near in my life would I expect that the seats were so poorly designed in the vehicle!
