Thought I'd share this addition I've made to my 2000 Insight. I flew to NC to pick up the car, and drove it home in a two day trip. By the end of each day, my sciatic nerve was killing me, a combination of the meager seat padding and the need to keep my right leg extended for hours on end. I was really wishing for cruise control by the end of that trip.
I first added a center armrest, to take a little pressure off the butt from time to time. Helped quite a bit. Then, Friday, I received my order from:

a memory-foam hunk of padding. I ordered a trapezoidal shape, 2" thick. Fits in a standard flannel pillowcase, for a temporary cover. Cheap and nice solution, and has worked very nicely for about 400 miles of driving since getting it. If I had it to do over again, however, I might have gone just a touch thinner, since the 2" thickness, while adequately cushey, lifts me up just enough to diminish the effectiveness of the seat side bolsters a bit.
