Not brand loyal as much as butt loyal. Got a new car and driving it pinched the nerves in the lower part of my spine. Symptoms were my feet going numb and my butt hurting. Aggravated the nerves bad enough couldn't hardly sit for longer that 10 minutes without it becoming extremely painful driving or not. Also woke up at night with my feet hurting,

The company replaced the seats, then bought the car back. Made me sign a non-disclosure statement.

Thought I was weird or something until I let a car dealer acquaintance drive it while I was test driving some cars off his lot. He said it caused him pain as well. A friend inherited a similar car from his mom and had the same issues. Also saw Hugh Grant to Top Gear and he talked about having the same issue with his brother's car. And having to reluctantly sell his Vantage and get a Porsche to keep his butt from hurting.

While the nerves were aggravated I test drove all brands and models of vehicles, new and used I could find. Found only the following brands pain free, Volvo, BMW only with sports seats, and Porsche. Everything else was, well...literally a pain the the butt.
