Done 1065 miles in 6 days travelling between Cumbernauld and Edinburgh twice a day. Averaged 4miles per kw, driving through Edinburgh was a challenge. Reckon I saved £225 in petrol since my leckie was free. Car went well though the seat I found uncomfortable.

That's a good saving 👍

On a longer drive, I find the seat uncomfortable on my legs after a few hours - think the seat base could do with being a bit longer - I'm 6'4" so pretty substantial so maybe it's me though!!
 
It was my back and neck that was painfull, might have been the stress driving through Edinburgh city that added to it. 😬
 
I do average 200 miles a day and find the seat position problematic. I think the main cause for me is the floor height, if I have the seat low enough to see out the window my knees are sticking up and it gets uncomfortable. If I put the seat up I can't see out the window as well but it's more comfortable for a time... until the hunching down to see out takes it's toll.
I would not say it's a major issue, I've been driving the car since last July and I've not yet got home feeling tired out as I used to do driving diesel vans.

School run?
 
I have found the seat ok on long journeys I'm 5 ft 11 👍
 
I m just back from an epic journey.
Chandlers Ford - Manchester -Loch Lomond -Northumberland coast -Hunstanton - Chandlers Ford.
I am 74 and my back was suffering quite a bit.
North of Loch Lomond the car displayed “System Fault”.Called the AA.
Ten minutes later the car decided to start. It has been OK ever since.
