what’s a car that surprised you with how comfortable it is?

[-]

not-a-toad@reddit

Brz but maybe because im coming from shitty tiny 90s and pre smog cars and its the first modern car ive ever really owned

[-]

VarmintTheCritter@reddit

Chevy pickups from the 90s have amazing ride quality. My K2500 feels like I'm sitting in a big comfy sofa that also does highway speeds.

Also, the crotch cooler vent combined with working A/C is the height of luxury 😂

[-]

denizenbro@reddit

Fellow ‘97 K2500 owner here and couldn’t agree more. Honestly enjoy driving it more than my ‘23 MB GLE450

[-]

VarmintTheCritter@reddit

That's an interesting spread of vehicles! I would be less comfortable in a GLE450 just because of worrying about scratches. Meanwhile, I can touch up my Chevy with a spray can in a pinch 😅

TimeOfRisenKing23rd@reddit

The old Buick. I forgot which model but it had 3.8 engine. I’m 6’3 it feels so good to put it on cruise control and stretch my leg in the middle since the shifter is on the steering wheel

[-]

cabernettherapy@reddit

I test drove a 2023 Kia Telluride and it was so smooth, comfortable, and quiet. I was surprised at how comfortable it was.

[-]

Practically all the cars ive owned have been luxury cars and the ones that weren't, werent comfortable, so unfortunately I dont have a real good answer for you. I will say that when I used to work at a Nissan dealership, I was shocked at how comfortable the Nissan Quest minivans were, for an import. It was almost as comfortable as a mid-level american sedan. Almost. Probably the only import id ever come close to calling comfortable, and thats saying alot coming from me. Usually I prefer my car seats to have very plush, pillow topped seats that you sink into.

[-]

Hungry-Job-3198@reddit

Name a car that suprised you with how comfortable they were and not a luxury vehicle. I will start, a Lexus es. Lmao you literally started with a luxury vehicle that’s directly marketed for that lol.

I drove one after driving a polestar… I think if you like minivans, you’d love the ioniq5.

[-]

KiraDog0828@reddit

Our AWD Limited could have driven circles around any minivan—except maybe the R63.

It drove pretty well for a car with its cargo space.

[-]

upsidedown-funnel@reddit

For a quick moment I thought the r63 was a reference to the r53. Both quick buggers. EV’s in general are pretty peppy. I was pleased to find mine did 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. If the regular person realized how fast they were, I think we’d see a lot more EV buyers.

Ioniq 5 seats are so comfy.

[-]

Novasfyre@reddit

Wild, I find the seats in mine mediocre at best.

[-]

KiraDog0828@reddit

I was surprised that they weren’t crappy.

They’re not on par with Volvo, Lincoln, etc., but they’re pretty good for a non-luxury brand.

[-]

Mrepman81@reddit

I guess my other reference points are a model 3 and a prius but ioniq seats are way better compared to those.

[-]

Spyderbeast@reddit

Not because it's cushy or anything, but the way my BRZ fits my body is just perfect (I am 5'6", normal woman height, and for example, the armrest is right where it needs to be on long drives, no pain, or odd angles). Younger people may not know the feeling yet, but ergonomics get more important over time. When your vehicle just fits you, it's nice

[-]

What are you talking about? The last generation Panther platform was 5 star rated in just about everything but side impact (and that was only if it didn’t get optional side impact airbags).

I also have personal experience, flattening two does at 75 moh in my ‘01 Town Car and walking away with nothing but a bit of airbag burn on my forearm. Drove the car 30 miles back home, too.

[-]

thatsonlyme312@reddit

I was a cabbie for a bit almost 2 decades ago, so I have some experience with these.

Their handling is abysmal so you were more likely to lose control of the car and end up in a crash. But once you ended up in one, the sheer size of the car protected you reasonably well. I was in a pretty bad accident, airbags didn't even deploy (old cab, they were probably taken out) but I walked away with only a scratch. Semi truck driver who hit me though he killed me.

So I have mixed feelings about them. Reasonably safe in accidents, but I prefer not getting in one in the first place.

[-]

OlYeller01@reddit

The cabs got the short end of the stick with no rear swaybar like the Police Interceptors got. There’s a company (ADTR) that carries aftermarket sway bars and other performance improvements. I actually added their sway bars and some rear control arms to my Town Car. It’s not a Mustang Cobra in the twisties but it’s not a floaty boat anymore, either.

[-]

thatsonlyme312@reddit

Interesting. I can see how with improved handling they'd be much more fun to drive

[-]

rodeo302@reddit

They were some of the safest cars of their time. Which is one of the reasons why the were so popular with police departments. You could crash it at 90 and walk away with a few scratches and an airbag burn.

[-]

krombopulousnathan@reddit

I travel a fair bit and use rental cars. The Nissan sedans really surprise me the most. Especially the Sentra. Would not have assumed it to be comfortable but it ate up 600 miles like a champ.

Half ton trucks are also very comfy cruisers now. I daily a Tundra; it’s our go to road trip trucks.

[-]

HankSpank@reddit

Nissans are GOATed for rentals. Highly predictable physical controls, comfy, good ergonomics, good visibility. The only problem I’ve ever had was an infotainment issue that meant I couldn’t use CarPlay and also couldn't charge my phone while using Bluetooth. That was just in one Sentra among a dozen flawless experiences.

I also loved my 11th gen Civic rental for the same reason. It had worse controls though.

Nissans are awesome rentals. I’d never own one though.

I had a 25 Altima for a rental recently and I was actually really surprised at how much I enjoyed driving it. That acceleration is no joke.

I got one as a rental (23/24) and thought it was awful for lack of pickup. My daily driver is a 6cyl turbo

[-]

I thought the Altima is great for what it is. My daily is a twin turbo hybrid V6 with 440 hp and 583 lb ft of torque. But my daily does not get 40 mpg like I got in the Altima.

You should try a gen ll Honda Ridgeline…. It’s often referred to as ‘The Gentleman’s truck’ and lives up to it.

Oh yea my aunt and uncle have one and they ride very nice. I tow a 3k trailer in the mountains somewhat often and didn’t want to push the 5k tow rating on the Ridgeline. But otherwise would have made perfect sense.

[-]

I rented a Sentra and drove over 1500 km on a trip last summer. Absolutely phenomenal as a rental car, it was so comfortable and economical. It actually made me think of buying a Nissan for a second as my next car.

Compared to my husbands f150 lariet, with 10000 different controls, my poor back and tail bone are crying after even a short trip. The transit is also surprisingly fun to drive. Takes getting used to and I can’t park it worth shit. It’s a great vehicle. (Got the more relatable 3.7 not the ecoboost).

My '80 C3 Corvette when I bought it. Suspension was completely stock except for heavy duty shocks, and goddamn did that thing ride like a cloud. Comfy seats, and it was so smooth on the highway that it reminded me of my parent's early '00s Buick LeSabre. Not exactly the best thing to say for what's supposed to be a sports car, but damn if you wanted something to just cruise, eat up highway miles, and have a nice rumble, it really did the trick.

Range Rover?!! I had several other German cars growing up, but getting into Range Rover, my thought was “if I knew it was this good I’d have gotten one years ago!!!” A new one, not an old one with maintenance challenges.

Mk6 VW golf. Those seats are incredible! I can do 500 mile trips with zero discomfort. I’ve driven cars that are far more “luxury” half those distances with hip or leg pain that took a week to work out.

MK5/MK6 Golf/Sportwagen is unheralded in its comfort for long distance. Firm, but cradling and supportive seats, all controls within perfect reach, quiet at 80 mph. I've done multiple 28+ hour trips (yes, no sleeping) and nothing has come close to this comfortable for me.

Lexus is literally Toyota marketed as luxury

Hyundai Venue. Not a comfortable car in the grand scheme of things - but comfortable for its segment.

Drove one as a rental for a few days. 400km one-way of “hey, these seats aren’t bad. It has wireless CarPlay. It has enough power to be completely capable. It’s reasonably quiet. The ergonomics are good”. My entire thought was “for -this-price, what more could you possibly want?”.

Good cheap car.

Perhaps not a surprise but I got a Mercedes CLA as a hire car a couple of years ago I drove it from London to the north of Scotland and back and was constantly surprised by how quiet and comfortable it was

And CLA’s are basically the worst Mercedes

Volvo 240. It's the seat.

The back seat of the Chrysler Concorde was absolutely massive. I’ve only ridden in one but I was in sheer disbelief with how far the front seats felt from the back seat. Huge car on the inside.

I had a Chevrolet spark for a while, basic model, manual shift, it was reasonably comfortable, very practical, and I loved that car. Going way back, my boss had a 69 Mercury Marquis. Big old boat. I think this was the one you could put a glass of wine on the dash and it wouldn’t turn over, he replaced it with a newer model, but that never rode as good.

Lexus are literally known for being quiet and comfortable vehicles.

Raptors are supremely comfortable (as well as most other trucks with the right suspension upgrades)

Lexus LC 500.

Don’t understand how the engineers designed a perfect seat for someone who has a very bad back.

Love my Subaru Legacy sport, even after a 12 hour roadtrip, super comfy!

My 2004 4Runner. For what’s basically a light truck and how old it is, it’s really comfortable

My Ford Freestyle. I bought it from my grandfather when he went in the nursing home. It's the most comfortable car I've ever driven. Nice upright seating position, thigh support, leg room. Feels like a Volvo which it shared a platform with.

I have 3 for you;

Late 90s/early 00 Lexus ES. My aunt had one. I absolutely loved driving it.
4th gen Toyota Avalon. My parents leased one. I'd drive it as often as I could. Also had cooled seats when notany cars did. I seriously entertained buying it after the lease was up.
Chrysler 300s. I know, I know. Super comfortable with a V8 and 8spd transmission. Had it as a rental. Figured out it was an 80k car after I returned home. Yeah, nevermind.
