2014 vs. 2011 Seat Comfort (leather)

We have 2 Fusion Hybrids; a 2011 and a 2014 Titanium. Love the 2011. Very comfortable and fun to drive. When we purchased the Titanium, the new look and gadgets were nice. However, after about 1,000 miles, I find myself very disappointed with the driver's seat (and the ability to adjust it). The seat has power adjustments and you can adjust most anything, EXCEPT raising the front (just behind your knees). The support there is not very good. Guess what I'm trying to say is the seat is kind of flat. I first noticed the uncomfortable ride during a long trip (over 100 miles). Around town is not too bad. Don't think there are any good answers to this. I got out my tape measure and compared the two cars and the 2011 has more support and adjustments. A picture (or two) are worth a thousand words...

 

Just wondering if anyone else has made this observation.

I have the same years as you. I don't dislike either, but they sure are different. The '11 drives more like a go-kart, and wraps you into it better, but the 2014 is still a good drive.

 

My wife prefers the '11's drive, and I'm on the fence. They're both the best cars I've ever driven, and I've been driving a range of cars since 1965.

My 2015 Ti has the ability to raise the front, I've done it. It's part of the "10-way power seat" seat.

 

Check out pages 131-132 of the 2015 Fusion Owners Manual. It even has a picture showing the front going up and down.

 

In your picture of the 14 Ti, just push the front of the front knob up and down, that'll raise the front/lower the front of the seat.
