Car with the best ride for UK roads Up to £25k
Discussion
After a few cars with slightly bone jarring or rougher than expected rides (Tesla M3P, LC500, Mini Clubman JCW), and ticking over the big 40 I find myself longing for something with a pillowing ride that is also interesting.
So I think some form of luxobarge is in my future once I've sold the Mini, but what to replace it with? BMW 760li? Citreon C6? Mercedes S600? Phaeton?
What car offers the best ride for U.K. roads?

I'd suggest taking a good look at the 3.0 V6 S in Portfolio spec:

Or the CL500:

We had a Subaru Forester that seemed to be impervious to pot holes and speed humps.
It had relatively tall tyres on 17" and relatively soft suspension. It did roll a bit in corners as a result (despite the marketing fluff about low centre of gravity due to boxer (diesel in our case)).
Having said all this, do Subaru still sell them? or even exist in UK now?

Volvo XC40 has the best ride, in terms of comfort, of any car I can remember riding in. Honestly, I was a bit shocked. I mean you'd expect it from a 7 Series, S Class or E Class, but honestly, this rivalled them. The way it combined cushioning, fleetness of foot, with a sense of control was spot on for my tastes.
I hated how Volvo's I've been in rode (older S60, old model XC90, new model XC90) somehow leaden, wallowy and dead, but the XC40 was a revelation, I'd even say it was fun.
My XC40 rides very well even on its 20 inch alloys. The Volvo is a good choice, possibly best in class, if you want to change the Clubman for something only slightly bigger.I hated how Volvo's I've been in rode (older S60, old model XC90, new model XC90) somehow leaden, wallowy and dead, but the XC40 was a revelation, I'd even say it was fun.

That should ride really nicely with it being the SE rather than the M Sport I reckon. I've always gone for M Sport BMWs, but I did have an E92 330d SE as a loan car for a week once, and the ride in that was amazing in comparison to the M Sport I thought.
