I drive my GR86 350+ miles (one way) every month or two. That's roughly 5 hours each way.
Unless you put an obnoxious exhaust on it, it's not the engine noise that will get to you - it's the tires. And even then that's not a big deal. If you're looking for a whisper-quiet cushy ride that won't interrupt your enjoyment of the classical concerto on your stereo, this isn't that car.
If you're looking for a sports car that can do 95% of what a typical commuter car can do, this is it.
Personally, I would not want it to stop reminding me I'm driving a car.

And everyone's perception of 'comfort' is a bit different. I've done up to 9hrs in my 86 in a day with a not-quiet exhaust and it was totally fine. But I used to do 5-6 hrs in a GD STi on track-spec coilovers a couple times a month and thought that was fine too
A car where I can hear and feel what's going on and get to have fun with it when the road gets twisty is going to keep me more engaged on a long drive. Getting bored and sleepy is a bigger concern to me than feeling like I'm on a couch of comfort.
