The best car for wafting?

[Wills2]

Forget steering feel or stability under hard braking and then getting on the power early to tease the tail out...

If you wanted a car to waft you effortlessly up and down the motorway in supreme comfort with a MAX budget of 20k what would be your choice?


I'm leaning towards an C6 for about 13k...

An C6 sounds like someone who presents The Weakest Link in 2062AD

Would you seriously put 20k of your own money into a Citroen to waft in when half of that would buy a tried and tested German barge?

Thanks Andy I didn't ask for a grammar lesson.

A jag is wafting personified. No need to spend £20k either I would have thought

[robsco]

Yes, boy does a C6 waft. Absolutely sensational ride quality. That said, I found the Jaguar XJ to be more refined in terms of road and wind noise.

Range Rover on small wheels not the stupid 24" things.

Yes that does seem a bit high lets say the MAX budget is 20k probably wouldn't spend more than 13k on a c6.

Jaguar/Daimler or RR/Bentley or big Mercedes/BMW (760's are throw away money).

C6 is a fine, fine car. Lovely interiors.

For pure, silent, unruffled wafting there are few things better than a Lexus: http://pistonheads.com/sales/1981796.htm

I'd probably have trouble going past this one though... http://pistonheads.com/sales/2096303.htm

[minimatt1967]

Lexus LS probably?

[BenMk3]

My dad's 2009 Citroen C5 is a beauty. Don't buy one new though, depreciation is shocking (He lost 6.5k in 1 year). On the flip-side though, you can get 1-2 year old examples quite cheap now though.

It's far more useful I'd say than the results of your "fantasy thought of a second" though. Tell you what, if you actually buy the best suggestion I will take it all back.

And you need to care more about the jokes you tell than other peoples spelling/grammar.

3-5k on a BMW E38 7 series. Job done.

20k on a Citroen.

[Stu R]

Range Rover or 7 series

Ford Crown Vic with a 4.6 v8. its like driving around on a leather sofa.

Andy you know nothing about me whats so ever, you're the kind of poster that gives PH a bad name. If you don't want to add anything positive, then go away.

I'm putting far to many miles on my 911 and need a motorway car (yes sounds crazy doesn't it!!!!)FFS...
