Have to say once I found the right position (several weeks of tweaking), I find my C70 (auto) seat to be supremely comfortable... spring last year I drove back to Philadelphia from St Louis (that's further than you can drive from anywhere in the UK without turning round and coming back again, in terms of distance it's about 50 miles longer than Lands End to John O'Groats, but motorway all the way).

My plan had been to make an overnight stop when I got tired/uncomfortable/fed up with driving, but after stopping only as necessary for fuel and adding/removing coffee I didn't start to hit any of those walls until I was barely an hour from home, so pressed on. Even half that distance in a day in the Nissan I owned previously would leave me tired and achey.

I've done several long trips since then, Florida twice this year, and just love the way this car eats highway miles so effortlessly.

Only thing I find affects my comfort level is leaving anything in my back pockets... seems to alter the angle I sit at and I end up with hip pain after a while.
