What's the most 'soothing' car you've had..?
Discussion
Bit left of field but, my Mitsubishi L400 Delica.
Big offroad tyres & proper diffs capable of soaking up anything the road will throw at it, snow, gravel, mud. Never need to worry about getting stuck anywhere (which matters when you commute through NW Scotland).
Yet at the same time, soft suspension (with electronic shocks that tightens things up in the twistys), and a comfy cabin, commanding road position, not fast by any means, but cruises at 65mph on the motorway like nothing else.
To add to it all, comfy living room style rear with a fridge & other day van amenities. I love the thing.

I'd say it would be the latest Range Rover. Lovely place to sit and, with all the electronics turned on, it pretty much drives itself. Quiet and wafty, but with enough power to allow one to be confident that you can move it around as you need to. Elevated driving position means you always have a good view of the road. All the toys you could possibly want - massage seats, heated/cooled seats.
The Tesla MX100 is pretty good too. Silent and swift. Rides well. Let down by being a slightly less luxurious place to be than the Rangie, the rather poor Autopilot, and the attention it gets.
Going back, I bought a Rover 75 Touring as a nanny/dog car. That was not very inspiring but it did waft very nicely indeed. Like putting on a pair of slippers. Surprisingly good.

Negative attention?The more we have electric cars, the longer we will be allowed to drive our V12s. It's a win/win.
