I weigh only 160lbs, and my drivers seat belt, when buckled, seems to push into my side, especially when I lean towards the center console or glove box.
Does anyone else experience this?
I have found one remedy, is to buckle the buckle in reverse, so the buckle angles away...
Any suggestions?

i don't have this problem at all. i thought only "bigger" people will have this problem or people with wider hips 
. you might want to put something in between your seat belt anchor and side of your seat. this way the anchor is a little further away from you. so when you buckle up, the buckle doesn't hurt/touch your hip.

My problem with the seatbelt is that it isn't adjustable. I think it is RIDICULOUS to have an expensive car with a seatbelt that doesn't move. It cuts me very tightly across my neck, and I am tall (5'10"). It is very uncomfortable to wear. It was so bad for my mother (5') that she had to throw the shoulder belt behind her. It was cutting her across her face.
