I don't mean space. Most cars are driven with one or two passenger, even big ones, so you don't really need a lot of space. The size of car is usually for making it more stable on the road, hence more comfortable and less tiring. But this can backfire since large mpv or 4x4 are less stable, hence more tiring. Unfortunately, motoring journalists are biased as they judge everything against a F1 car as a reference, hence they prefer twitchy steering and bone hard ride, even noisy exhaust; exactly the opposite of what is required. My reference is more towards e.g. Mercedes E class, although that is far too expensive. I find that French small cars are fairly good, as the french are somewhat laid back, this is reflected in their cars. The word "comfortable" easily translates into French. A surprise good car that I tested was Peugeot 207. Any suggestions?
