I have had it for 3 weeks and have 3500 miles on it so I do spend some time sitting there In my car I can drive from home (near Danbury CT) to Buffalo in one shot without getting up and still feel great and ready for a mt bike ride in Ellicotville when I go through 350 miles from home. It's about time to get some gas anyway so it's a perfect time to get up and go for a ride. I love these seats, only thing I've had in the last 35 years that comes close is the seat in my Volvo C30, that thing was phenomenal.

I do find the car to be somewhat tiring on the big roads though, it's really not an interstate car. I tend to choose B roads as often as possible no matter if it adds 30 minutes or not just because that's where the car is most pleasant. If a C road will get me there in similar time that always the choice. Probably why I arrive where I'm headed pretty fresh because I've been actively driving the car not just sitting there. 6-700 miles a day is easy in this car.
Subaru seats aren’t so great. My wife ended up in a Lexus NT instead of a high trim Forester due to their far superior seats

Not sure why they don’t use Alacantra seats in higher trims. The Legacy Spec B had them and they were great.
