I'm curious why a car that has such emphasis placed on performance and comfort, yet the seat belts are not easy to pull out. Have checked all the belts in my car and they all are about the same. Shouldn't it be practically effortless to pull out the belt? I didn't care for it, but I've rented a Lexus and the belt pulls out without much effort at all. Can the belts someone be adjusted to prove an easier pull? And how in the heck do you clean a belt after someone has spilled coffee on it?!!
Thanks and Merry Christmas and safe driving to all.
