Greatest 4/5 seat cars ever?
Discussion
For me, perhaps a Maserati - Gransport or Granturismo. Gorgeous looking 2 door with fantastic engines that also happen to have 4 'useable' seats. Why would you want something that looks dull and saloon like or god forbid a hatchback when you could have these?
Failing that I have always had a thing for the Ferrari Mondial.

I think that depends on your definition of 'usable', if your rear occupants are >5 feet tall then their experience won't be overtly comfortable. As for a Mondial, I recall being crammed in to the back of one of those; I had to sit sideways with my feet in the footwell behind the driver and backside parked in the seat behind the passenger, so very uncomfortable and not really a 4 seater - perhaps a 2+1 or 2+0.5?Failing that I have always had a thing for the Ferrari Mondial.

Even a Maserati GranTurismo is snug in the rear for someone of 6 feet tall, amusing really when you look at the length of the bloody things...

Anything with poor fuel economy is out as a car can't be great if it's thirsty all the time. It could be good but not truly great.
Anything which is small or uncomfortable is out as - what's the point of an uncomfortable car when there's more comfortable ones. They can be fun and practical but not truly great
Obviously it can't be and EV as they're solution to a problem we haven't got. They've got lots of great qualities but are not yet truly great.
That leaves a lot of possibles - I guess at the top of the list - it would probably be this.
2cv and Renault 4/5 mk1 are small but epically comfortable. I'd daily either. One of the great forgotten people's cars is the mk1 Panda, a perfect piece of industrial design, right down to its flat glass, rubber mat floors and hammock dash and seats. I'd love another 750l !!!

My 911 has 4 seats.
I once had to do Sharjah to Abu Dhabi and back, wedged into the rear of a 996. It was not in the least comfortable, even turned through 90 degrees. You can, but it's not fun...EVO gave the 2018 Cupra R 4/5, that would probably be my pick.

For me it's the BMW E39 M5 in Oxford green with the baseball tan interior.
Can't afford one myself, or to fuel one, or to maintain one, but gosh they got it right with that car.
My chosen spec too.Can't afford one myself, or to fuel one, or to maintain one, but gosh they got it right with that car.
In this particular model, the Green is great, although I much prefer a black interior to brown.
