As per the title; what's the most comfortable car you've ever had / driven?

My parents have just got a Xsara Picasso and I'm rather shocked at just how comfortable it is. It isn't just the seats, but the fact that the armrest lines up perfectly with the gear knob, the roomyness betweeen the front seats, everything is easily within reach etc...

I'm sure most of you will have had cars that make the Picasso look primitive, in the comfort stakes, though!

Range rover sport was the most comfortable and relaxing car I've ever had. Think it's a mixture of sitting up high, the seats (arm rests on both sides) and the fact it was an auto. Very smooth car .

An old Citroen Xantia runaround with the adjustable suspension. Was easily one of the most comfortable cars I've had....Scrapped it when the rear suspension spheres died. frown

My current Lexus GS is pretty comfortable. The 18 inch wheels do make it slightly crashy but its nothing unbareable. I just love the way the huge centre armrest and door mould around you. Makes you feel like your sat in one of those large american chairs.

Scrapped for the sake of two rear sphere, all of about 40 quid?!

My XM was very comfortable - it made the non-hydractive Xantias I had feel quite harsh. My CX rode better than the XM but the wind and engine noise made it slightly less comfortable over all.

E92 M3 / E60 530D.

Depending on the kind of drive, one may edge out the other in comfort. But very close.

The LS460 in confort mode suspension. Will quite happily eat it's way through a 1500 mile weekend trip. A drama free big barge way to travel huge mileages.

1998 Subaru Legacy Outback.

Great seats and perfect driving position for me.
Interior looked naff but was extremely solid and everything worked well, including aircon and heated seats.
Ride was great too, especially on my usual quick rural roads.

My Saxo VTS was far comfier than it ought to have been.
Current Impreza classic is much better than the GF's Fiat 500 on rough surfaces.
