Too funny. 
Not 3 years here, but it took me 1-1/2 years to find my lumbar. I found it by accident as well. I guess I coulda just read the manual huh? LOL!

I found mine quick, first thing I do with a new car is push every button and lever to see what happens. I love the SVT seats, they are just a little wide for me, I'd like them to be snugger but once you get the initial slide they hold you well. The best part is after a nice treatment of meguiars leather foam I can get people to slide right out, thanks SVT for the stopping power!
Anybody ever slept in their car? drivers seat at full recline makes a decent bed.

Best- 2003 Volvo XC70 Seats
Close- 1983 Porsche 911 SC Seats
Almost as good- 1998 Contour SVT Seats
I find the SVT to have one of the most comfortable seats i've ever experienced.
Me too, it's the first seat that did'nt hurt my back or make me uncomfortable whatsoever. Doesn't matter how long I drive it for.

The cloth seats in my SE are more comfortable than the leather seats in my wife's Taurus.

yes, on the driver's seat (it's on both, but this is for explanatory purposes), there's the reclining wheel to tilt the seat on the bottom left. on the right side, there's another wheel at about your shoulder-blades. that's the wheel you're looking for
this is for the non-power seats, isn't it? SVT has power driver's seat, hence the buttons.
I have a 95 SE, it has power driver's seat. it goes forward/back, up/down, and pivots/tilts with the button. I still have the wheels that adjust the back-recline and the bar that stiffens/loosens in the back area (I assume this is the same lumbar support we were talking about?). maybe I have half-power seats?

I think in all the SVTs they use a button, I know mine do, though it is a 98.5

Huh? What's that? I don't need an Owner's Manual to drive the car.

I have a question for non-SVT power seats, do they have the lumbar as well?
