This is exactly what the 75 excels at - long journeys in relaxed comfort. I recently drove 350 miles on a wet, Friday night to my brother's in Kent, with the usual stop-start stuff on the M11 and M25. Having a young puppy with us, we stopped 3 times on the journey, taking a total of 7hours, but still arrived fresh, and pain-free. The following day, we went to the in-laws in Gosport, better weather, and despite the M25, felt like a pleasant trip. 2 days later, and back to Cumbria - just 2 stops, and a lot of congestion in Staffs and Cheshire on the M6, but still arrived home feeling human. Unlike my previous, but newer Audi A4, which would have left me crippled with back and hip pain by Kent.
