Along JayG's comments - I've Done long trips(10 - 15 hrs in the saddle) and I personally don't find these seats any less comfortable then others.

Possibly but not in our case. My other half is much smaller than I am and found the seats to be equally as uncomfortable.

Coming from a turbocharged daily driver ('12 GTI) the Boxster still surprises me at how deep I have to dig sometimes. My previous toy was a '94 Miata, so I'm quite accustomed to rowing gears and using the throttle to extract the performance.
I just figured with 30+hp more on tap than the GTI that it wouldn't need quite as much of that as the Miata did. Blame the longish gearing I suppose.
