I’ve been doing what you’re planning to do for the past 6 years, except 115 km/day. I used to have a 2002 Honda Civic LX and found it to be uncomfortable for frequent long trips. I changed to a 2006 BMW 325xi sedan which is certainly much more enjoyable and comfortable to drive, but obviously more expensive to operate. Both manual transmissions.

If you plan on doing this for a long time, I’d get something that satisfies in all respects (comfort, enjoyment, reliability, fuel economy, engagement). I like my BMW when it’s working, but repairs and fuel costs make it a love/hate relationship due to the amount of driving I do.

I’ve been looking for something to replace it for a bit now, but haven’t found the perfect fit.
