I have occasional back problems and generally find well shaped car seats (i.e. most now days) to be the best place to be. Approx 8 or 9 years ago I was laid up for a week or so, eventually managed to lower myself into the company Vectra SRi, everything was then in the right position and I was the most comforatble I had been for days.

Any modern car with sports suspension is set up for the super smooth German and French motorways. No need for much suspension travel.
Try a V70 with 16" wheels and you may get a better ride. Possibly the cheapest way forward. Ask your dealer if he has a spare set of standard wheels, or a spare car with them on you can borrow, or even swap the wheels for a day. You may be surprised and there will be lots of people with base modesl looking to get the smarter wheels, who will pay you to swap over.

Saabs are supposed to have great seats, but my back was agony after a couple of weeks with my 9-5 Aero. I switched to a BMW 3-series with the optional electric/sports/heated seats which was fantastic. I'm now on a Mondeo which is somewhere in the middle.

I'm sorry if this sounds ungracious, but if I could travel in 'most car seats' I would not have the problem I have asked for help with.

Apology accepted, I think the point is that most modern car seata are fairly sympathetic to back pain sufferers however it might be simply that the combination of your physique and symptoms are not compatible with the Volvo seats, yes you could try a V70 with different wheels etc however I suggest trying a wide range of different cars.
