6 hours in the seat, about 400 miles. I got the massage seats and that helped reduce fatigue. I do wish the seats were a little less firm, you don't sink into them and while you can adjust all sorts of things, you can't make them softer. Road noise was less than other cars/trucks I've owned but still similar to flying with that constant roar of wind going around you. Mileage is better on the freeway by about 20% than what I get in town--I do like to jack rabbit start and play with the horsepower and AWD and paddles. Voice commands are pretty useless since nothing seems intuitive. It DID lead me to what I wanted, though (looking for a gas station). Changing scales on the nav system or even having POI appear also presented challenges (I still haven't gotten POI even though I selected it). The destination time countdown doesn't work correctly after you are closer than one hour...the one never changed to zero--Dealer should fix that if I tell him about it. While there are stereo controls to adjust left right and fade and tones, I really don't like the tones and position (front) that my music sounds on this system, I'm used to a Bose system that plays richer bass. Mostly just new car stuff, stuff that you have to figure out ONCE, then it won't bug you anymore.

Suggest when you get back just set down with salesman at dealership OR General Manager. They will address most if not all at no cost and will explain the process too. Food for thought!
 
Depending on what level of vehicle you purchased the sound system may be different. I have a Nautilus Reserve that has the Ultimate package. My sound system was upgraded to the Revel Ultima system. It will blow you out of the car with the rich bass. The Revel Ultima sound system is only available on the Reserve with the Ultimate package and I believe standard on the Black Label.

If you have the massaging seats, you have the capability of adjusting the firmness of the seat in the driving position too. Take a look at the manual for that. You can also scroll through the menus. There are so many settings it gets mindboggling at times.
