The headrest is angled too far forward. I am a small framed individual 5'6", 115 lbs. I have good posture. This seat and head rest does not allow me to rest my shoulders against the seat, rather I have to roll my shoulders forward to keep my head away from the headrest causing shoulders and pain so extreme that I feel like vomiting each time I drive; my commute is only 20-30 minutes. I have tried multiple seat positions with the limited 2 adjustments I have to no avail. I have read that the seats are made for larger people with broader shoulders-they will fill the seat and don't sink back into it as smaller individuals do. Such pain is a distraction to driving, my head should not be forced downward.
