I purchased a 2020 Forester and have been having comfort problems with the driver's seat. Felt fine during three test drives. However, in longer drives, since purchase, I'm having back/hip pain. I'm a big guy, 6'6" and 350 lbs. I'm thinking about trading for an Ascent. Those seats seem to be more comfortable. Certainly the shoulder/hip room is greater and the legroom feels a bit greater, too (despite the specs saying the Ascent has less legroom than the Forester) and I like the thigh support. However, because of my negative experience with the Forester seats, I'm second-guessing my impressions, particularly since the Ascent and Forester seats look so similar. My concern is whether I'm making a mistake in trading for the Ascent. Has anyone else have any thoughts on the front seats of the Ascent versus the Forester?
