>>> we drove five hours to Indianapolis for Indy 500 qualifying. That’s about as long as we can take in the driver’s seat, though.

The driver on that trip found that the stiff ride and small size take their toll after a couple of hours.

I've had mine 5 months and just turned 6400 miles. I've had one fix from the dealer....a coolant tank. So I would say no problems and I'm extremely happy with the car.

As for the above quote, I think the size of the driver has a lot to do with it. Last week I just rolled up 1600 miles in 4 days, including sitting behind the wheel on Friday for a total of 12 hours in 3 hour, 2 hour, and 7 hour segments! After 8 hours sleep I couldn't even tell I had been in the car! I've owned a lot of cars I could never even think about doing that in without getting a back ache. I'm 5'7" and think the seats are supurb!
