Matt, The "D" is great on long trips...(Cincinnati to Denver 1250mi). Kansas was great above 85 it's like the car is glued to the road. The seats are comfortable for this kind of travel & the only thing that would add to the comfort is cruise control. I tend to get a cramp in my foot when I stay in one position like that. The only problem that I had on that trip was a failed doide in the fan circuit. I didn't find that until we had to slow down in traffic in Kansas City. Otherwise, the 'D' has been quite reliable.
