No. quite comfortable. But if I put my head against the headrest I can feel vibration. Is it just a cheap seat in the Base model? Puzzling. Thanks for you interest!

Some vibration is always normal. It's usually 'road' vibration. Check the passenger headrest the next time you're out on the highway and see if there appears to be a lot of vibration. Sometimes it can be caused by an out of balance wheel(s) but that you would normally notice in shaking of the steering wheel or in the body itself. Seeing as you've likely put on a few miles already and only noticed it after the long trip is a little puzzling.

I have only owned the car for about 10 months. It's a 2017. I have only gone on two long trips. Getting new tires soon, Maybe that will help. Thanks.

Put a Half full glass of water in the cup holder. Surface of the water is an excellent vibration display. Whitecaps are bad / Tranquil ripples are good.
