I think alot of the problems that people are having with the seats is that they are sitting in them either 1) like crap, improper posture (stop laughing, I'm serious) or 2) they are used to sitting in a certain position in their old cars, and don't realize this isn't ideal for this car. I had a 4-hour road trip last month and had zero problems.
This is my recommendation for seating position, it works great for me, your results may vary:
-Butt back all the way in the seat.
-Back not straight up, but upright, any over-recline will mess you up.
-Sitting up straight (lack of arm rest makes this fairly easy, nowhere else to go)
-seat height at the lowest setting (or a couple notches up) so that your heels rest comfortably with your feet on the pedals. Move the seat back and forth to make this possible.
-Shoulders resting on the shoulder bolsters, not being pushed forward by them or separated from them.
-Wheel should be positioned so that when you have both hands on the wheel (9 & 3 or 10 & 2), your elbows should be bent (as everyone learned in Driver's Ed.)
The rest is simple ergonomics. If you are going to be in the car for a while, you need to ensure that your back retains its normal curvature while you are seated. For some, this might require some lumbar support (thankfully for me it does not).
