I'm one of the Lexus stan PPs and our other car is a BMW X5 and it's not comfortable at all. It's fun to drive and very responsive but I can literally feel the road as i drive. I've heard that was intentional German engineering to amplify fahrvergnügen (joy in driving, like the old VW campaign)
That's because the X5 is for poors. Try the X7. Dials up the comfort a ton.
It's only like $15k difference?

Love my Forrester, and have been driving it for 7 years. It's starting to prove a bit uncomfortable though, now that I have a longer commute than I did in the past.

How so?
Not OP, but my commute just went up to over 1.5 hours per day, one-way.

Drove my Rubicon to Louisiana and back with zero complaints as to comfort. This is really a personal thing.

I'm 60 and have a Lexus ES350 (about 10 years old) and a Honda Odyssey (about 20 years old). I drive long distance in both (over 8+ hours) without issues. Honda seat is firmer, Lexus more plush and the car infinitely more quieter.

Any Lexus or a specific model?
Just bought a used RX F Sport last week. Very comfortable and supportive and I have shoulder and neck issues.

Our Outback is surprisingly very comfortable. We have done 9 hour road trips (that were supposed to be 7, but got stuck in traffic). Heated leather seats (front and back seat) and steering wheel, plus adapted/assisted cruise control really help. The driver's seat has an extender to support your legs on long drives.
We also have a Lexus and I much prefer the Outback, but I think it's because I like lower to the ground vehicles. YMMV.
Bottom line-- upgraded packages help with comfort. I also agree with PP that it can be personal preference so test drive.
My parents' Audis are also super comfortable.
I agree with this, I find the sedans more comfortable. I learned to drive on a Corolla and will always find those cars easiest.
My Bolt is super quiet, for obvious reasons, but I did add a seat pad to it.

I routinely drive a Jeep Wrangler from Bethesda to Big Torch Key, FL, only stops for fuel and food. 1,173 miles, 19 hours. I do this every couple months, and have since 2016.
Unused to ride a sport bike between Atlanta and Orlando. I thought it was fine at the time. It's not actually something I'd recommend as comfortable to most people, and neither is a Wrangler.
I also have a CBR1KRR and would ride from Big Torch Key to New Orleans for the weekend. We might’ve passed each other on ‘75, 😂

It’s going to depend quite a bit on personal preference; seats often fit people differently. I find my F150s seats super comfortable, but I have issues in our CRV. Spouse finds both comfortable.
