One of the benefits of slugging (and I do thank all you drivers) has allowed me to get first hand ride experience in a lot of different car manuf. models.
Great experience for when I bought my new car.
So what are some of the most comfortable riding cars you have been in?
Here's mine;
Mercede's cars (not the SUV)
Lincoln Navigator
VW Tourag

I have had the opportunity to ride in several Volvo's and it doesn't seem to matter how old or new they are, they have all been very comfortable to ride in. [:I]

I'd have to go with the Lexus SUV, or may be wait for the Lexus SUV Hybrid. Then, I can ride alone until we revamp the HOV to HOT, and the Lexus will be most appropriate for that event.

I found the Audi A6 to be one of the most comfortable that i have ever ridden in.

Hmmm, not a hybrid in the lot. Are there any car salesmen that slug? Know any dealers that you could CC: on this thread. Auto companies pay big bucks to determine what kind of cars people will buy. Most have surveys on rental cars to track what features people like in their cars.
Does anyone remember the picture "Magic Town" with Jimmy Steward and Donna Reid?
Is there a thread to evaluate the goodness of slug drivers?

From a back seat comfort perspective, you can't beat a Lincoln Town Car. A wonderful slug ride indeed.
Keep on sluggin'! [:)]

I'll have to agree with sludge and moody girl. Most VW's and Volvo's are very comfy, And any age Lincoln is always a treat.

I think I would have bought a new car a long time ago if I were not a slug. I get to ride in so many NICE cars, that it's hard to chose which one's my fave. To me, nothing beats a BMW - any size. Can't afford any size. The Cadillac Escalade is another pick; can't afford it either. Same holds true for the Lexus SUV. Alas...nothing in my price range offers the comfort I have grown accustomed to as a slug. I'll never forget the first time I rode in a Lincoln Town Car though, back in the late 80's. It was brown, with brown velour seats. It was so big and comfortable in the back seat - it felt like riding to work on an extremely squishy couch. I felt very tiny in that big back seat. Today, I'm lucky if there's an inch of legroom between my knees and the front passenger seat.

If VA didn't have personal property tax, my slugs would have been commuting in a VW Phaeton, with their own climate settings, sun screens for the back, heated and air conditioned seats (front and back) with massage, and TONS of leg room in the front and back.
Oh well.

I find No SUV comfortable. [:(] I like to read if it's daylight but the constant bounce with their stiff suspension makes me nausous. (How DO these people accept this assault on a daily basis?!!) I rarely ride in pick-me-ups for the same reason plus the fact that they are not safe. (However I DID survive the 3-car wreck on that rainy Valentine's Day). [:)]
I almost drool when I see a Lincoln Town Car in line. [:p] When my brother got his I used to swap his out for my Mustang years ago. My 'stang is gone, but he still has his '89 Town Car. (He also has a newer one.)
Actually any big sedan is what I hope for. I will pass up anything smaller to get to one of those. Taurus' have a surprisingly large, roomy back seat. Very nice, especially the ones that have the heater vents on the back of the console. Oooooh, so nice on a very cold morning!

.. not too long ago I slugged from RVM to the P'gon and rode in the back seat of a new Infinity black sedan. First car I've ever seen with reclining back seats! Comfortable! (on the order of a 1st class airline or luxury tour bus type of seat). Leg room was fine for me and I'm almost 6 feet tall. So, an Infinity ain't bad either.
Keep on sluggin'! [:)]
