Do others find the XF seats hard for long trips?
Six months ago I bought my XF in Portland Oregon and drove it back to Vegas. My *** is still recovering. Not unusual on these trips to hit 120mph while passing trucks. Both cars do find.
I have been traveling distances of 600 miles in a day a couple times each year attending Crossfire events around the country for the past 16 years
I rarely feel any discomfort when arriving after these many long drives...I'm 61 years old now - 6 foot 1 inch tall / 38" waist
