i'm 5'9", 160 lbs, 26 years old and I just did a 6 hr roundtrip. Observations:
1. The base seats are not comfortable period. My last car was an 07 s2000 and even tho that thing was cramped up inside, the seats were excellent for long drives. The touring models are miles ahead but the base is no good.
2. Road noise is a problem when the road gets rocky. Even with my entire car pretty much dynamatted, it was loud and my threshold for loudness is pretty high.
3. My sound system helped a lot. All this road noise + base stereo woulda been disastrous but thanks to my system i was able to drown out the noise a bit.
4. Suspension is great. Perfect balance of fun and comfort.
5. Motor is excellent. Plenty of torque to leave it in 6th all day long through uphills at hwy speeds.
I think next time i will take my dad's minivan. While i enjoyed certain aspects of the car, this car is definitely not road trip friendly.
