In good weather, they are perfectly viable compared to cars. Sure, it's cramped, but you get there 3.5x faster, burning less fuel. Range depends on how much fuel you carry. I have 15 gallons and the range is about 350 miles at the "economy cruise" speed I normally fly at in N891JF, 150 mph, with a 2180cc VW engine. N56ML can carry 23 gallons, and gets 40 mpg also, so you do the math. Your bladder and your back are really the limits here. Comfort is a matter of opinion. You're not going to move but a few inches in any direction, so you be the judge, but flying is a lot less stressful...no "left-lane bandits", no cops, no traffic jams.
