I'm looking for a new car, and comfort is huge for me. I drive 300+ miles pretty regularly and need something that won't kill my back and legs. Those short test drives at the dealer don't tell you anything about how a car feels after hours of driving. What cars have you taken on long trips that actually stayed comfortable?

Any American SUV (Tahoe, suburban, Yukon, aviator). They’re couches on wheels.

They also have plenty of room to haul the family on road trips (500+ miles). Gas mileage is lousy though

+1 for Tahoe. I never understood until I tried. You just feel like a baller in them

We fly and rent cars for road trips in the south and west a couple times a year. Yukon xl / wagoneer / ex-max great but yeah the mileage is terrible Minivan is awesome for a long ride. Not cool but you just gotta own it. And the Toyota gets like 35 mpg we rent them if we have the whole family. Just me and wife we will usually get a large sedan like an Avalon or maxima. Once we got a sweet upgrade to a 750 :)

I’ve enjoyed my new AMG E53 a great deal - had it for about 4 months now. I find, for me, the driving position is ideal and the seat comfort lasts for several hours at a stretch. Plus, lots of power and electric option for in-city driving.

I hear that Range Rovers have the most comfortable driver’s seat - not sure if that’s just myth or if any truth to that. I’ve never owned or driven one…

Incredibly comfortable, yes

Minivan?

So far the best seats I’ve had are from Porsche, BMW and Volvo, with Volvo being the bargain/value choice of the three 🫣

Years ago I have had great experience road tripping with a Golf R and I really liked the seats back then, but it’s been a while since I’ve been in any VW vehicle.

Volvo seats are incredible. Sedans, wagons, and SUVs of all sizes to choose from.

Go for a plug-in hybrid SUV. Decent gas mileage and will be more comfortable on long drive since you sit higher (than sedan or sport car).

I love love the BMW X5 50e or 45e. They are very comfortable. Sit high. Great tech and visibility. 30-50 mile ev range is perfect for my commute and with gas, can drive long distance. Also has good Adaptive cruise control on the highway. Better than my Tesla. Best value is a used 45e that has DAPP, and fully loaded preferably

Audi A5 -

Looks like they’re all 2.0 4 cylinder, unless one goes for a S5.

Are they actually a fun to drive/powerful machine, or is it more of a “lipstick on pig” situation? It looks like the Prestige line north of $60K are also 4 cylinder.

Any insights or personal experiences?
