I had to drive mine 16 hours last year during a hurricane evacuation for Hurricane Ida. It took me 12 hours to get to Houston just to be informed that the room I had booked was sold to someone else and I ended up having to make an additional 4 hour drive to Dallas to find a hotel. This was while my wife was 7 months pregnant and she rode with me. We brought enough clothes and stuff with us to keep us entertained for a week. The car was loaded down and drove like a dream. Comfortable enough for my wife to not even have to adjust the seat much to get settled during the trip.
My car is also lowered and has full bolt-ons. Still got great gas mileage once I was able to get out of stop and go traffic. Quiet enough for her to take a nap while I drove and smooth enough to not be miserable in the process. We drove the car 14 hours back from Miami when I first purchased it, but she was not pregnant at the time so I knew I would be comfortable taking it. Wasn't sure about her until we got to Dallas and the next morning she said she was surprised how comfortable she ended up being in the car for that long.
I DD my car, I'm a district IT person so I'm constantly in the car. I've also done 10+ hour road trips with my Fiancé. Amazing car, best MPG I've had is 28.4mpg.
I wish the seats offered adjustable bolsters as they are pretty wide and not supportive enough IMO, but outside of that, it's an amazing cabin. Oh, and the fact that the passenger doesn't get lumbar support is mind-boggling in a 100K+ car.
Mines lowered on the swift springs. Ride is good until you come across bumpy roads. Then, it’s absolute trash with all the bumps. I hit an armadillo on the way back from Waco to Houston and it didn’t go too well. Damn thing was the size of a dog! Overall, I love the ride. I’m raising it back up because these springs are **** with stock shocks/struts. Thinking coils here soon!
My car is dropped on swift springs and rides amazing. However I have a 2019 with adaptive suspension and that might account for the difference in ride. As far as seat comfort on long trips my only gripe is that the seat bottom isn't wide enough even though there is plenty of room there. This causes the bottom bolsters to dig into my thighs causing me to constantly adjust in the seat. I don't have extra wide legs by any means.
Forgot one thing. I don't know how a 100k car has THE worst non existent seat cooling I have ever had. I can hear the fans yet feel nothing through the seats.

I bought my car brand new and that was something I noticed as well. I believe it’s because these seats are not like the luxury seats in the GS350. These are more sport oriented fancy buckets to me.
