Hello guys.Looking for positives here.Everywhere I read reviews ,when it comes to BMWs, Mercedes audis,Top Marques? the ride is allways basically not as good as it could be especially at low speeds.Even the xf gets negatives re low speed ride.I have a 120d Auto ED I do a shed load of miles.Love the car, engine is powerful in real world SE traffic.Solidly built.The ride however around side streets is crashy gets on my nerves. Non runflats is not an option for me.

The only car that seems to allways get a comfortable ride review is the mondeo.

Trouble is who needs a ford diesel engine ?Not me!!

So guys have any of you a new/newish BMW not 7 series that you would recco for a nice ride.TBO thinking of the new volvo S60 due out next year.Good luck all.

Edited: This from autocar re coupe "The only potential downside is a slightly hard ride that could struggle with UK roads. Out on a twisty road the car is dynamically sound if far from being a thrill-a-minute to drive, and it never becomes especially involving. The same can be said for the steering, that is a little too light at times"

Thats that then re the coupe.Seewhat i can find re the saloon.
