What's the comfiest car /o/?

Shelling out 80,000 isn't very comfy. Smooth rides are comfy, quiet rides are comfy. Having an anemic engine is NOT comfy.

Is it the crown vic? Some giant land barge? Twingo?

Aye. G-bodys. Great cars. But don't forget the slightly larger B-body from the same years.
Even more comfy, but mostly 4 door.

Basically any 80s is comfy.

Every Subaru I've been in is very comfortable.

This, my LGT is comfy as fuck. Toasty heater, cold A/C, firm but not too bone-rattling suspension, and comfy cloth seats with just the right amount of bolstering. It'll hold you while cornering but it's not a death grip like the Focus ST's seats. Helps that it has a very nicely shifting 5 speed, tight steering ratio and no funky drive by wire for muh feels too.

It's not TOO slow but it could use more power. Luckily a WRX swap isn't too hard if you pay iWire to do a harness merge.

how hasn't it turned to rust and the head gasket stayed intact

Texas, it never snows and the one time it does per decade, we don't even have any salt machines anyway. It's already had the headgaskets replaced once.

It seems you interpreted it as comfiest for the passengers. We meant comfiest for the driver.

We have different definitions of comfy then. I don't want something that will lull me to sleep, I want a car that's set up just right and is a pleasure to drive. A landbarge with a low-stall automatic and cushy suspension is not going to be engaging to drive, even if the ride quality is smooth.

Are you literally retarded? This isn't a what's the best handling/driving comfy car thread. Even then an outback is hardly "engaging".

>has never driven one
I have unfortunately, all the way to Cali. Shitty Subaru CVT clunks when you let off the gas on the highway, seats are too stiff and the wind noise is fucking atrocious. This was a '13 Outback btw.

LS 400 ultra lux package is pretty fucking comfy. You occasionally see one pop up on craigslist. I like mine. It's like a regular ls 400, but with a couple of other fun features.

Can confirm for very comfy, I didn't even feel tired after a 7 hour drive in that thing, even though I had 4 hours of sleep.

Good choice.


I find my piece of shit very comfy, the ride isn't the best but the cloth seats make you feel like you are home for some reason.

A 2010+ Outback has nothing in common with my car. (>>13971020) For the 5th gen it moved up to the full size platform that was introduced with the Tribeca. My car is on the Legacy platform (obviously) that the Impreza is now on.

Mine doesn't have any issues with a shitty CVT or 4EAT, the seats are great, and surprisingly little wind noise even with the frameless windows that the 2010+ did away with.

I'd let you drive it if I could. It's fantastic. Everything is right where it needs to be, unfortunately muh feels are hard to describe over the internet. The shifter is buttery smooth, the clutch is very responsive, and the gas is always predictable being mechanically linked to the throttle body. The steering is great too, the Legacy GT has a firmer suspension and 16.5:1 rack instead of the Outback's bouncy house suspension and 19:1 rack, as well as a limited slip rear differential.

it's like driving a silent cloud that has a kick ass sound system (even now ~15 years after the fact) and is absolutely huge inside. It's not quite as fun to drive as a beemer, or say a hot hatchback, but it's fucking comfy.

What cars are comfy for 6'3 guys? Driving a citroen c1 and it's terrible.

I'm going to guess that when ever you hit a bump, you bounced excessively, hence the jello feeling?
If so, that's a good sign the shocks were blown.

My driving lessons were actually in a w126 and it was very comfy, I could see all signs and everything, where as in the shitty citroen if I'm somewhat close to them, the ceiling blocks my view.

Would never buy one of those though.
