Can you recommend a comfortable car for long trips?

I do approximately 21,000 miles a year, which includes a two hour drive to work. So, as you might imagine, I want to buy a comfortable car as my current Peugeot RCZ is too uncomfortable for my back. What do you suggest I buy?

Volvo S60 SE with the new 2.0 DriveE 182PS diesel engine (60mpg) or a Mazda 6 2.2 Skyactiv D, but, so far, to get a tiltable driver's seat squab, you had to go for the Sport version.
