The front seat is extremely uncomfortable at any driving distance. I have checked with multiple dealerships, and this is not a unique problem as many owners experience this problem. The seat design is without significant support. The dealership and manufactuers zone representative have tried a couple of adjustments without success. The seat pain is at a level that after 3 or 4 hours, you just can't drive any further.
