I have had my 01 TT for 18 months and made 12-15 x > 5 hour trips without a problem.
I am a Physical therapist(Physio in Aus) and suggest that you guys play around with the adjustability a bit.
Some hints:
1. Tilt the seat cushion so that your thighs are higher than your
backside..very important to keep the Lumbar area supported & relaxed)
2. bring your seat forward so that you can comfortably reach both pedals
(these cars don't come in manual do they
) without altering your
lower back posture
3.use a round back roll behind your Lumbar area to keep it slightly arched
forward
4.Adjust the back support so that with your hands on the steering wheel and
your back resting on the seat, your elbows are bent.
The above may not work for everyone, but unless you are very tall, these seats have good adjustability and you should not suffer on trips lasting up to 5 hours.

hurt on long trips (in both standard and sport seats). I was putting too much stress on my back with no shoulder support. I readjusted to sitting closer with my shoulders fully supported by the seat even in hard turns with more of a rake to the seat. The back pain went away. The thought of making out with a deployed airbag still bothers me. A deployed airbag can and will burn your corneas. You can't blink fast enough to avoid it. I wear sunglasses daytime and just clear non-prescription glasses at nite.
