Advice on long distant driving with a yaris

[yarswiss]

Your car can take it, but make sure you can.

I drove for 7 hours up the coast of California, averaging 80mph and stopping twice for less than 5 minutes. The only problem I had was my shoulders and rear were throbbing from pain as the seats are quite firm. Make sure you can physically handle it most importantly. Frequent breaks and a seat cushion will help.

After driving long distances on a regular basis in my Chevy Sprintwith no ill effect, I was surprised to find that the Yaris' seat gave me an ache in the right pelvic region. Removing my wallet while driving eliminated the problem entirely. The contouring of the seat was jamming the billfold into my side for hours on end.
