No way!

That sounds dangerous cause like shouldn't you be driving..? XD Cruise control the whole way

I find the seats comfortable but I haven't been on a crazy long drive. Did do a 2hr drive and I think that I may need more lower back support if the drive was much longer

EDIT: Just reread it I get yea you just slept in the seat haha my mistake

I have actually experienced some back pain after I drive my FR-S.. At first I thought it was just for sleeping the wrong way, but then I realized otherwise. I drive another car Mon-Thurs or Fri and I'm feeling good by Wednesday, then it starts back up the day after I start driving again. But I believe it's because I have VERY broad shoulders. Still worth it though.

Fortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to try sleeping in the front seats yet... Maybe I'll get that golden opportunity if my wife ever decides to kick me out of the house for any odd reason... Hehe!

I haven't gotten to the point where I've been tired enough to sleep in the car, but I agree the seats are comfy!
