What car?

That's a good point. My answer was for the cars that I've had. If it had been a Honda, there's no way I could make it more than 4 hours a day. Their seats are horrible.

I usually do a 1 day drive from Denver to Minneapolis. That is the longest I can go, and if I do that I really wouldn't want to set foot in a car the entire next day.

You need to drive better cars Has Subaru finally fixed their passenger seat problem? The last I checked was in 2012, and you still couldn't get a front passenger seat that wasn't painful.

The most comfortable trip I've had was a straight shot from San Francisco to Seattle. A friend picked up a new seven series and we were driving it back after I got done with a business trip. Fully adjustable seats (and I mean length, width... in additional to your typical lumbar, tilt, seat back... adjustments.) Plus they were vented - cool air blowing through the seat. And massaging.

Plus it handled well. The first time we got in the freeway we were doing 90 and didn't even realize it... other than the other cars were slow.

It looks like Google maps put SF to SEA at about the same duration as Denver to Minneapolis. 13 hours in that BMW, and I wished I could do it all over again the next day.
