Sorry to hear that. You get an A+ for effort and resilience! Good luck with your new ride.

I hate to say it, but after fighting with this seat issue since February I have been defeated. I tried everything from sitting on a 2" thick foam cushion to inserting lumbar padding into the seat back and other ridiculous combinations of cushions and back rests. I even bought an expensive Sacro-Ease seat. No matter what I try, I can't get comfortable and end up trying something else and have finally raised the white flag. After owning a 2006 Mazda 5 for six years (my most favorite car ever), and then this 2012 model for nine months (my most hated car ever), it's on the way out. I came to an agreed deal for another car (2011 Ford Escape) and am trading the Mazda 5. I tried, I really tried, but IMHO Mazda screwed up badly with these crap seats and has lost a loyal customer and fan. It was a real love-hate relationship with this car, but at this point it's good riddance, I'm moving on.

That's my sob story and I'm sticking to it

Not being a thorn on your side but...if you went with a used vehicle why didn't you go back to a 2010 (first generation) Mazda5 which interior-wise would have been identical to your old loved 2006?
