xA comfy on long trips?
Is the xA comfortable on long road trips? I have read mixed reviews in magazines and on websites. When I first sat in an xA, I was impressed by the firm seats. They seem better than the ones in the Echo, which I had driven a few months before. My two xA test drives were too short to get a good idea.
What's the real verdict? Anyone take any one-day, two-day, three-day or even cross-country drives yet? I plan to get cruise control with mine, so mainly I am wondering about the driving position.
Thanks.

I realized if I'm going on a long trip with luggauge and all...I can only have me and another person in the car...otherwise it's a pain in the bum. I take a 4 hour drive every time I go up to Orlando or down to Pembroke Pines. This has happened... 8 times already. It's a pretty easy drive. The seats help a lot...if only we had armrests...

Drove 7 hours in FL a couple weeks ago. Was amazed at how comfortable the seats were. They supported by back well, I think because there is so much side pressure which removes pressure directly from the spinal cord.
There was 2 of us and we put the rear seat down and had plenty of room.

my ankle usually aches from holding the gas pedal. . . wish cruise control was standard. . . something about the up right seating puts more strain on your ankles. . .

I don't know maybe it's just me but I don't mind the armrests missing.
I generally put my right hand on the wheel or the shifter, rarely do I ever feel the need to put it down.
I can understand though, I do need an armrest for my left arm.

ankle fatigue
I bought the xA to commute back and forth to work... approx 30 miles each way every day. I've noticed that if I drive much more than that, my ankle and knee start to ache quite a bit. I would really like cruise control, so I could take my foot off the gas.
Oh but did I mention I'm 6'3''.... That probably has a bit to do with feeling cramped don't ya think?

It's not bad for me. I have a bad lower back so I find myself moving constantly. The don't have enough lower lumbar support for me, but I'll be fixing that later.
Other than that, it's a pretty comfortable drive.
