Looking for the soft ride that wouldn't brake the bank bank
I just sold my 93 Lincoln TC Signature with Cartier seats ( i think).
The thing is it was the best riding car I had and I have a bad back. I know, i know - why did I sell it than? The reason was actually trying to find even better riding car. I've herd (drove a couple of times too) 94-96 Lexus LS400 should be an even better riding car. 96-97 Jaguar XJ6 looks pretty good pricewise too. I would prefer to avoid GM vehicles because I don't believe they are as reliable and MB, BMW are too much on maintenance. Any suggestions for a car 4-6 k MPG in the 20th that would have a nice/soft ride? Thanks!

Re: Looking for the soft ride that wouldn't brake the bank bank
I am still searching and coming to like two more vehicles.
97 Jaguar Vanden Plas or XJ6 L (long wheel base) they ride a little smoother (for me) compare to a "regular" XJ6. I also like 98-99 XJ8, but I am more concerned with maintaining it all the tensioner issues blown head gaskets etc. Any opinions/suggestions? Thanks!

Any Jag is gonna be quite expensive to maintain.

Re: Looking for the soft ride that wouldn't brake the bank bank
I like riding my car. It is Accord which I purchased for the first time when I learnt car riding. It is soft and smooth in ride. I will suggest you to take a test drive of this car if you are seeking qualities and of soft and smoothness in breaks.

Re: Looking for the soft ride that wouldn't brake the bank bank
Hey I love Hondas, always did always will, but they are NOT know for their soft ride. That's why I sold every Honda I've ever owned. You Jamesfranklin sound like a young kid so for you it maybe a best riding car, not for a geezer like me
I ended up buying an 02 Lexus for close to 20k out the door it rides very well and has a better handling than Lincoln ever will. I am still missing my 93 Lincoln though
