I can travel for many miles (one time was 16 hours between Portland and Casper Wyoming) straight through with perfect comfort. Dial the seat into what is comfortable for me (many choices including lumbar support, and wings that fold in or out around you) see full Chevrolet Corvette review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Cadillac CTS

2012 Cadillac CTS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
The optional Recaro seats are a must despite their $3,400 price, as they provide power-adjustable side bolsters that provide far better lateral support than the standard seats. But the Recaro seats aren't very comfortable, with overly firm bulges here and there. Though the lumbar support can be power-adjusted vertically as well as in-and-out, I couldn't find any position where it was comfortable and ended up adjusting it for minimum intrusiveness. see full Cadillac CTS review
