Comfort on long drives and fun to drive rating?

[jwhkc]

I am a big guy. 6' 3", 280 lbs.

So there are many cars I am not very comfortable in.

I think the X5 (with active ventilated seats) is great. I knew the comfort seats were good, but I was not sure about the 'active' stuff. Having driven as much as 10 hours in a single day in my X5 I am now a proponent of active seats, they really do make a difference (at least for me).

The X5 is also among the best handling cars I have owned (others include Volvo, BMW, Lexus & Infiniti.)

Ultimately however many of these things are personal preferences......one driver's comfort is often another driver's pain.....the best bet is to find a dealer that will let you take an extended test drive in a vehicle with the seating & other options you think you want.

Good luck!

I have a 3.0 with 19" RFT and no comfort seats. I've driven the E70 on a non stop 5 to 6 hour drive to the ski slopes and did not even feel tired afterwards. I could have gone 5 more hours of driving without any complaint.
