Seats matter!

Just spent time as a passenger in a friend's Acura MDX. I thought one might be a replacement for my wife's aging 9-5 wagon (185K miles)
Nope.
It had a good ride and OK handling for what it is, but on just a 2 hour ride (1 hour each way), my back was killing me. The seats are purely awful--some of the worst I've ever sat in. The bottom cushion is too hard, there is no lumbar support and they just don't feel good overall. We'd left our car at their house and when we got back into our 15-year-old 9-5 the seats were saying "welcome home!" (Plus we get 23 mpg at 80 with a Thule box and a bike on the roof. The MDX struggles to get 20-21 at 70 with nothing on top.
So take the MDX off the list.
I only buy used cars, so maybe I'll be looking for a XC 60 Volvo. At least going in I know the seats will be good! And I can get a turbo. I'll pay more for maintenance to get seats I can sit on all day.
