definitely no problem. I visit my parents quite often in DC (used to live there up to two years ago). I now live in South Florida. I would drive to Orlando/Sanford Amtrak Autotrain one way to DC (about 3 hrs drive)... and would drive from DC to home (about 15-16 hrs drive). I have no problem with the vehicle. Drive in mostly normal mode. The V8 noise in the cabin does get annoyance after many hours but blasting the music does help a bit. The drawback is more fuel stops compared to my previous '15 E350 wagon (that one got close to 600 miles on one tank). When I am up north, I would use their car to shuttle them around given my mom wouldn't fit in the back of the LC (dad is defintely too tall for the back).

I find the cabin quite quiet in the LC. I have no drone whatsoever and I have headers and a full aftermarket (PPE) exhausts system. The LC is well sound insulated. It weighs about 400LBS more than a similar sized RCF with the same engine. A lot of that weight is the sound proofing. The only engine noise I hear in the cabin is from the pumped in noise through the firewall and from the exhaust tips in the rear of the car. My ISF with a similar exhaust was much louder in the cabin. I bought my LC in Nebraska and drove home to Arizona with the stock exhaust and yes it was quieter than the system I now have. As far as using the stereo, I rarely use it, I'd much rather listen to the melodious sound of the engine

i'd like to testify that i take a 100 mile cruise to the other side of the island, so that means a 100 mile ride back, for about 2 hrs each leg,
and when i'm done i feel i could do it again...absolutely no fatigue! i believe its due to the position of the driver almost perfectly in the center of gravity
or moment of inertia of the vehicle so that little to no force is translated to the driver, which he would then resist in place...in other words, a dreamy car !

Does anyone else feel like the seat sits you just a bit to the right? I just about start to lose the HUD with my right eye sitting up straight.
great observation/perception HOONOSE ! i feel the same thing, the seat is canted ever so slightly toward the center of mass...ala lamborghini....its very subtle .... but adds to perfect the mechanics, to result in a great ride...

.... especially if the trips are done once a month or twice in three months.Thread
