Ford Focus and Lexus IS200

[vztrt]

Slk500

CLK320 was nice. But the VW V8 Toureg on comfort suspension was nuts, we were gliding.

[irsa76]

2001 Mercedes S600, CL500, Rover 75 and belive it or not Verada Xi.

[fast gt]

My uncle had 3 rolls royces. 2 silver spirits and 1 spur couldnt hear the 6.7 liter v8 couldnt feel any roughnes and had big leather armchairs

This thread just reminded me of the new Calais advert, ok the im sure the Calais is an ok car (for a holden) but where do they get of comparing it to a German Engineered master piece such as the BMW. They also note that it is over $100,000 cheaper, hopefuly the people watching the advert will realise why.: sorry.

i've not driven the larger A6 etc but as for ride of the new A4 i dont rate them as a classy drive,feel kinda harsh,and not just the sport model,and engine is noisy. trim level is way up on most cars but thats where it ends for me.but as i said i've not driven the bigger Audi range.

old saabs as ugly as they are were a smooth ride, they just feel so heavy and safe on the road

[Steffo]

Most comfortable... surprisingly, I've sat in lots of big-dollar stuff (half million dollar Bentleys anyone?) but my favourite comfort wise would be the AU Fairlane. I don't know why, but sitting in that is just... mmm. Definitley not the quietest (diff whine?) or smoothest (craptastic auto?) I've been in though.

Smoothest hmm... hard to think. As far as the transmission is concerned, Golf GTI DSG MkV. Drove one... unbelieable. Can't feel shifts at all. Its like they're not happening. Hell, at low revs you can barely hear them.

[Piotr]

I would say the ford focus is the smoothest car ive driven. Might not be the quietest or have the best interior but the way it absorbs the bumps and rutts is excellent.

Have to agree with RPO83 on the 450 SEL 6.9 Mercedes, years ago my old man had one. Lets just say it wasn't a slow conveyance. Dry sumped and a huge (buy todays standards) fuel tank, both of which were needed...

I certainly won't leave my current steed out, the old BA GT with those leather seats is still a comfy way around town or interstate.

P.S. Mongoose10, pretty sure the '72 Galaxie had the 400 2 barrel, not the 390. I had one for a while. A great mobile couch that's for sure.

X2 for the bmw 760 henri 351, a mate of mine had one as a courtesy car from bmw while his m5 convertable was getting the seats fixed. very nice car. close second for me is the audi a8

Was in the states recently and after dropping a rental car off a mexican guy gave us a lift back to our hotel in a Lexus 4WD. I freaked out when he took off cause i didnt even release the thing was running. I've heard about how quite lexus' are but never expected how smooth and quite they really were...

[XCSEDAN]

im going to have to say....
a BMW 760Li...
you cant even feel the road, feels like your on a magic carpet, except you have 320+kw....
very smooth motor, very comfy ride, handles well.... i could go on, but i think you all hate me enough as is now :P

[nb_351]

vw touareg with v10 tdi donk... like a truck at idle, but one airbags conrolled from centre console...
a pair of front shocks are worth more than a fair few cars on these forums...
infact most new vehicles from vw...
or the early 90s lexus/soarers... the sc400 was great...
for a readily available cxar, my eb ghia was very comfy...

[irsa76]

Audi is too firm, at least our A4 was. The Lexus I've driven were disappointing. Both suffered from a couple of rattles and squeaks, and the LX470 made me seasick.

[Ridin-High]

my mate has a v8 soarer very comfy in the front, the back seats is so cramped tho... i saposed thats the go with coupes

[Greenhorn]

my grandma's original 1971 250CE merc coupe

[blur1]

any rolls royce

[MITCHAY]

MY05 Liberty GT. Not far behind my WRX performance wise but it's 10000000X more comfortable to be in anyday.

[DirtyHarry]

Quietest,smoothest,comfortable car-that you have been in - maybe my memory is a bit rose-coloured, but I would say a Citroen DS Pallas.

[clontarf_x]

Jag V12 Deimler? Something like that. Oldschool styles, probably late 80's? It looked like a shitheap but I have never been in such a smooth accelerating, riding and handling car as that...

[Mechan1k]

1950's Bentley Princess Limousine ... that thing was awesome ... was like floating on a cloud ... I was impressed.

[fordOwner]

This car Im going to mention would be irrelivant now but I remember in the early 90's the New Magna - dunno what year but they were common in 2 tone, anyway I could not believe how smooth the gear changes were and how quiet it was! I remember saying this is what all cars are going to be like in the next 10 yrs.

[Schlimmeh]

As far as I'm concerned the word "Best" and "quietest and smoothest" don't necessarily go together. My preference would be to use "Best" and "rumble" and "firm" in the same sentence.

But... The best car for cruising i have been in is a 2007 Merc S500 we had for a test drive when my grandparents were looking for a new car.

[ForgInASock]

1986 TM Magna Elite. Traded it for a '92 NC 5.0 Fairlane, and wished I never did. STILL the best car I have ever owned.

[fordOwner]

Maybe this is the Magna im thinking of!? ^^^^

[Citric GT]

double post.

[Citric GT]

I had a 94 KS Verada EI once. It had the lowest road, suspension and engine noise out of any car I've ever been in.
