[Elantra GT] Elantra GT Message Board submission

[Joe Bondi]

Corey,

I had a similar experience with my new GT a few years ago (I have an '02).
When I would drive long distances (usually longer than 30 minutes), my back
would hurt.  Not sure what it was, but after the first year it got better.
Maybe the leather softened, or the foam softened.  Not sure, but I have no
problems now.  Not sure you can wait a year, sounds like you're in pain!
