Comfort is, I suppose a matter of personal taste. Certainly I've found that the large cars & SUVs I've ridden in, and very occasionally driven, were quite uncomfortable for me. As for long trips, the longest one I've driven in the last few years is about 75 miles one way.

Maybe that's the issue here. I drove 400KM yesterday and will again this easter and probably before then. The OP clearly states he drives 100+miles regularly. Bumpy rides, acutely bent joints, noisiness, etc. tend to matter exponentially in relation to trip length.
