I miss my grand prix lol and i really love the new G8 ahh god keep me away from a car dealership lol 0% Intrest too ugh haha

the things i hate about my xB are

1. Its not comftorable to drive for long periods of time
2. It has a horrible side impact rating

other than that its awesome but im gonna start traveling more this summer and im scared im gonna get really frustrated with it. When i drove to D&B my back hurt sooo bad from the seats it was awful i hate to see how im gonna feel when i drive it to myrtle beach next month

I think that it being uncomfortable to drive for extended periods might have more to do with your posture than the car itself.

I typically drive with my left hand on the wheel, with a slight lean to the right hand side. If I do this for extended periods on the highway, my back hurts. When I sit up straight, I find it doesn't happen.

driving to norfolk in the xA was actually pretty comfy put my left foot on the dash and leaned the seat back some more and i was good to go....on the way back fell asleep in the passenger seat lol

driving back and forth to boston 6 times (at least 6 hours each way) and countless trips to Long Island (from 2 - 10 hours each way) i have to say the xb isnt too bad. Its no cadillac, but you have to remember, its a $14,000 car.

Zack is right about posture. If you have your gangster lean on in the seat, and you're dippin hard holding onto the shifter, of course you're going to be in pain cause your spine is all twisted up. if you're sitting up straight, and actually do 10/2 on the wheel, you'll be a lot more comfortable.

the only thing i found to be uncomfortable on long drives was no cruise control so my right foot go tired and there is little to no lower back support. the super stiff shocks didnt help much either haha. i have driven in worse. my friends dodge ram was like sittng on a pack bench for 4 hours

Yeah that is true guys it could be the way i sit but i absolutely agree with scott about the cruise control...when i have my foot on the gas pedal for a long time it gets uncomfortable so i think this week im ordering it

drove my xb to florida in 06. was quite comfortable, but i was driving 10/2 and sitting the way u should be sitting in the seat. the only thing i could have used for a drive that long was cruise control. but not having it wasnt really a big deal for me either

i thought about getting the cruise control module, but i dont want that huge box in my engine bay.
