I was watching a commercial for Lincoln cars and it got me thinking. I want to get a car to drive on long trips and weekends and want it to be nice. I was thinking something American made such as the Lincoln, or maybe a foreign. I've never owned a car before, always trucks and SUVs. I want new and I want it to be a comfortable sedan. Any thoughts, Parker et al?

Seating position in. Trucks/SUV is way more comfortable than a car. The process of getting into and out a a car is a pain. Even luxury sedans.

Just rent a car on the rare occasion you take a long trip.

I currently own an Acura MDX. It's like driving sitting in a couch - immensely comfortable.
That said, mileage is poop (I work from home so it doesn't matter), and I'd prefer something I can beat up more - think throwing baseball equipment in the back without care.

I'm a huge car guy and I'll give you some cars to check out. ESfitness is right, trucks and SUV's are more comfortable, but they bring higher fuel costs as well. Not only that but they are usually under utilized by most who drive them.
My top pick is below and I'll explain why as well.
BMW 335i Sedan- typical BMW luxury and driving experience coupled with a low resale value means the 335i is a damn good deal. The twin turbo charged inline 6 engine gives it plenty of power, more than the average drive will ever need. This car is RWD as well. I must add it has excellent traction control and a wonderful interior and sound system as standard. I've driven the coupe version of this car and I instantly wanted one. It's fast; it just gets up and goes without any drama. Its so comfortable to sit in and drive lazily or with spirit. The 6 speed is so smooth to drive, shifting is a pleasure not a chore. This car is modern, looks sexy and drives wonderfully. It is roomy without being too big, and compact without being too small. It is under the radar, but to those in the know it commands respect. No reason to go with the M3, this is the better car for the money. If speed is your thing upgrade the exhaust and air intake and have the ECU flashed by Dinan and you're looking at an easy 400+hp with a shit ton of torque.

Really fun

Definitely. I'm not a huge fan of the styling though, and the car itself is too big for what a sports sedan should be. The blob and hawkeye were perfect size. I had a Subaru Legacy B4 (japanese only model) for a while, and it was imo the perfect size. Lots of comfort for long trip, huge trunk and big backseat to bang out in or nap. It was fast with about 300hp and tons of grip.
-
I guess I'm thinking Lincoln or Lexus or something like that. Not that I am a snob, but I'm assuming that a more expensive luxury car will ride better and feel more put together. I already have a truck and suv and they are about as nice as you can get for those types of vehicles. I just want something nice my wife and I can cruise in to dates and weekend trips without all of the kids. The Acura you spoke of grape may be worth a look. Maybe I'll take that advice, like I did the personal gym...
-
A Lincoln is simply a tarted up Ford with more fake wood and chrome. Each Lincoln is based off much lesser expensive pre-existing Ford platforms. Lincoln is a farce.
Your $$$ is best spent elsewhere.

asian cars are better bang for the buck in general IMO. Looking at cars with simular specs the asian cars are 10 grand lower often.
But if you want to support american companies then buy american.

I have a '15 435i MSport hard drop top with performance package. I have only put 4000 miles on it in over 2 years. Furthest I have drove it was 5 hours to Detroit. I have had 5 major back surgeries and I felt pretty damn good after that drive.
If you are set on a car you may want to take a look at Buick if you want to go American. They are pricey but known for their smooth ride.

BMW doesn't make the 335i anymore, it's the 340i
It's not a twin turbo either, it's a twin scroll, the twin turbo was from the e90/92 from 2007-2009 before the switch, only m3/m4 are twin turbo inline 6

What about Cadillac, anybody have any experience wth them? Buick just doesn't sound sexy to me and I'd prefer American. I already have a few GM products and am satisfied thus far.

Some of the new Cadillacs, like the ATS, are competitive with the best out there. Lincoln's most recent car is the new Continental. It looks good but isn't is the same league as the established German and Japanese luxury makes. The rest of the Lincoln line isn't competitive.
You can never go wrong with Mercedes-Benz in my opinion. Once I started driving them I never looked at anything else. Start with the C-Class and move up as your budget allows.

Recently decided to get another nicer performance car. Was about to close on a BMW M2, and at the last minute test drove a 2016 WRX STi. The six-speed transmission and the clutch were as smooth as glass and the "Limited" (absolutely every option)+SSK was $40k, about $20k less than the M2.
Plus the STi is AWD an absolute must for NH winters.

Most comfortable vehicles I've ever had are the 2015 Cadillac Escalade and 2016 Cadillac XTS.Ride like a dream and both fast.Im a Cadillac guy cause for me they drive great and are very comfy.

Not really an issue as far as this goes. I'll pay whatever for comfort. I wear shit clothes and some other things I'm a penny pincher about, but comfort is not one of them.

Isnt a BMW 3-series a bit to small to be on the road with next to al those huge pickups and suv's?
In europe cars are compact and the 3-series fits right in there but in the USA?->I dont know.

The M3/M4s are gigantic. I test drove them and they handled like a 540. The 2 series seems to be taking the place of the old E30/E36 (PBUH) 3 series.

Unless you are very wealthy, new cars are a total waste of money. Depreciates 20% as soon as you drive it off the lot. I never bought a new car in my life and I'm 50.
I'd rather buy something tangible that appreciates or holds it's value.

Get the Lincoln if you want to walk in water, talk to yourself while making weird finger movements, and pretend like a Bull in the middle of the road knows what you are saying, while you are in your car.

the reason is because you pay for the status of driving a new model luxury car
once the model is out dated it loses the status and turns into a piece of shit wannabe poser car

Yep, and many times with engine issues. Hopefully it still has the warranty. M engines are known to have more issues than a room full of rich ex-wives.

No no no. You know this is not true.
Buy a sporty c class instead.
Yesterday I saw a Maybach with Belgian plates driving around my neck of the woods.
I look to see who is behind the weel--> a bad ass Maroccan MOFO in a nike tracksuit.
Mocromaffia baby! Mr. Turtle just driving between Antwerp and Rotterdam to do some honest trading. Nothing to see here people!

another option is buy a 10 year old car that is collectible like a 911, it wont lose value and if its rare enough a model may appreciate. for example pretty hard in the UK to find any 911s, Astons, Conti GTs etc for under £25k.... That is basically the floor price.

Or so they claim.
Officers who hold C-level positions are typically considered the most powerful and influential members of an organization; consequently, they make higher-stakes decisions, their workload is more demanding, and they have relatively high salaries.

Plus the STi is AWD an absolute must for NH winters.
Excellent choice sir! Although I do like subaru, the Evo is the better car. There is no logical reason for them to continue with the flat 4 engine just like Mazda kept trying to push the rotary.

3 months ago, I'd be looking at what I'm about to say and shaking my head, but here it is.
Should have tested the WRX, too.
Ugh, I know, who the fuck would want a WRX vs STI?
Well, the truth is, the WRX engine is new (as of 2015) and the STI engine is old as fuck and my god, is the 15+ WRX a great car to drive.
The only reason I got to drive the '15 WRX is because after giving someone an absolute pile of shit for not spending a few thou extra for a used STI rather than a premium WRX, that person ignored that advice and bought a WRX. I then got in that car and gave it a burn and now I understand why people say that as sacrilegious as it might be.. the WRX might just be more fun.
I personally would still buy the STI over the WRX, but I know that WRX is a better experience.

The new WRX is awesome and does not lag behind the STi the way the older WRX's used to. The WRX also has a 5 speed which in my opinion is an advantage to a daily driver given that the gear ratios are longer and thus requiring less shifts to get up to speed. Plus the WRX doesn't have that giant wing on the back which for those that just want a sporty and capable AWD sedan is a huge turn off.

The STi Limited doesn't have that retarded wing, just the trunk lip. And I really like the 6-speed because I like shifting.

M2 would hold its value more. The 1M is still commanding 40k or more prices due to its limited numbers and its reputation. The 1M and M2 will be those "collector" cars in the future and people will start picking them up, like older 911s. And they test them in the winter on snow tires. But, I can understand the choice, STi is nice.
What color did you pick out on the M2?

They are going so fast, that picking the color wasn't an option. It was "here's one, want it?"

Oh of course they're both great cars, you really can't go wrong either way. I only wish they were not so large. I saw a 2007 STi this evening and that couldn't help but notice it was a good 20 percent more compact. Then you compare to the late 90s STi's which we get here in BC and those things are tiny some are even 2 doors! Those things frickin fly man

Don't waste money on a new car.
I actually thought about buying a Boss 429 but then I still have the comfort issue that I'm seeking to fix.
The used luxury car will most definitely save money, but I don't know if I was some farted up car that someone else has been driving. Maybe I'll just lease something. :-\

I saw a 2007 STi this evening and that couldn't help but notice it was a good 20 percent more compact. Then you compare to the late 90s STi's which we get here in BC and those things are tiny some are even 2 doors! Those things frickin fly man
They get a lot of HP out of that 4-cylinder 2.5L engine. It helps if you like to run it hard. The engine really likes the 4000-5000 rpm range.

They are going so fast, that picking the color wasn't an option. It was "here's one, want it?"
Yep. People have a hard time getting one, let alone getting to test drive one.

The STi Limited doesn't have that retarded wing, just the trunk lip. And I really like the 6-speed because I like shifting.
Plus, it's a Suburu, so it's built with love. :)

I never quite liked the negative attention that I got with my M3. The STi slides under the radar except with speed freaks. Plus, there is a HUGE STi/WRX owners club where I work. Most of these guys are serious rally racers and they know the best mods to do.

I actually thought about buying a Boss 429 but then I still have the comfort issue that I'm seeking to fix.
The used luxury car will most definitely save money, but I don't know if I was some farted up car that someone else has been driving. Maybe I'll just lease something. :-\
Look for two year old cars coming off lease. The dealers want those cars off the lot quickly.
If you do this trick in google: site:craigslist.org 2014 Acura MDX (or any car) google will give you every listing, regardless of location. A lot of dealers put stuff on there. When I got my MDX, dealer told me he had 6-7 coming in that fit my criteria - I drove about 3 hours to NY, and picked my car. Car was near flawless and 25k less than it was new.

Not sure if you know about it or not, but searchtempest is a way to search Craigslist ads within a certain mile radius. Probably more efficient. I'll have to follow your advice on the off lease stuff and take a peak.

Have no idea what searchtempest is...will check it out though. Thank you.

This thread has moved far away from the OP's topic which was about luxury cars.
Does anyone know if a Tesla is comfortable?

It will be life altering if you look for things on Craigslist a lot. Seriously.

Could have used it when I was collecting my home gym equipment - but I do want to change my full squat rack for a half rack....so will do.
I was waiting for _aj_ to finally give up on squatting and stuff, so I would just take his. But it looks like that's going to take decades now.

Luxury lease? Mbz s550 or e55... If you buy one, spend the extra $1200/yr on an aftermarket warranty after the factory warranty runs out.
Luxury buy? Lexus LS or Infiniti Q.
Cars that is...
SUV lease? Full size range rover supercharged. Best seating position you'll ever experience.
Buy? Infiniti QX.

The wife loves to squat, so that rack isn't going anywhere.

If you like intricate, Jewel like predator grills, the new Lexus LS at the Detroit Auto Show will be right up your alley. And the new interior is classy as well.
