I took a road trip from New Hampshire to Maryland in my EVO. With the miles there and back, plus the driving I did around the area there, I probably put 1800 mile on the car. I drove about 9 hours straight to get down there, only stopping for a fuel and a quick bite to eat. I never got uncomfortalbe in those seats. My friend sleep a good protion of the way and said the seats were even good for sleeping!

I drive to visit the parents about every other month, it's a 9 hour drive from the panhandle area of Florida to Miami, the trip is about 575 miles each way, and I have to gas up twice. The seats weren't a problem for me, but one time I carried a passenger with me and he complained about backpain afterwards. I thought cruise control could be a problem as my previous car had it and I consistantly used it during the trip, but prior to buying the Evo I intentionally drove down there one time without using it the whole trip and it wasn't that bad, so now I have the Evo and I keep my foot on the padel the entire way.

I find the evo to be the ultimate city car. Personally, I would not drive it more than 50 miles anywhere. You guys going hundreds of miles are hardcore! I salute you. My butt gets sore after 20 minutes. A smooth highway might make all the difference though.

Nothing beats cruising in the country with all 4 windows down and the engine humming along, with the occasional turbo spool up and blow off as you pass trucks and slowpokes with the greatest of ease
