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?

ahhhhhh I've suddenly twigged!! Yes, I agree that maybe something modern might be a relief yes
I’m still in contact with the new owner of the TC, it’s been pretty reliable for him, clearly the car and I just didn’t get on.

A supercharged L322 Vogue SE is tempting but the reliability is concerning.

How are G11 (2017) 750i’s? I think they have the updated engine that is less problematic but hard to say for sure.
