I remember having the similar comments about the seats in Sharyn's Honda after a 300km day trip. I think I said something like, that was fun but you'd get real uncomfortable on a long journey. The 944 was no problem from Sydney to Alice (bout 3000km), and we've done several trips to the Rock and back (900km) in it with no issues. Then there's the Tojo, we're often gone for 10,000+kms and never an issue. Them little town buzz boxes are not up to the task. Prolly never really designed for anything more than short town trips and we're just asking too much of it.
