comfortable riding midsize car

We had a 2010 Dodge Avenger that was very comfortable and got very good mileage. Standard suspension, tires and wheels. Our Charger also rides very smooth.

Just look for the biggest, heaviest, 70s/80s boat you can find. You'll think you've died and gone to heaven. Paying for the gas might be hell, though.

BUT my '88 Eldorado wallows and bottoms easily in the 'trenches' where residential streets come together and I have to take the speed humps at

Some people say the old Citroen (French car) cars have a wonderful ride. But working on them can be a nightmare. Don't buy a nightmare car.

I think your main problem is that you're driving too fast. 15 in a 25 mph zone sounds about right. Forget about rushing, take your time and enjoy that cushy ride. If you wear a pork pie hat and drive slowly, nobody's gonna be messing with you - not much anyway.

... so long as you're not black (anywhere), Mexican or of other "dark" complexion, particularly in specific locales.

Thanks, I feel SOOO much better now! More relaxed. Life is good. No need to hurry. I think I'll just stop here and take a nice na

I didn't think it was worth mentioning but yeah... of course. :-)

Watch out for that truk... aah... never mind.

I'd say ditch the low-profile tyres, and put on the smallest wheels that fit over the brakes. You'll probably get them cheap at the wreckers because nobody wants them. Then sell the original wheels on Gumtree (if you didn't already scrape them on the kerb).

Steve McQueen, The Hunter movie. That big car (all decked out) in that parking area in that tall round building in Chicago.

Hilarious!

For the record -- all four shocks (struts?) are leaking, which probably explains the 'wallowing' it does. At $700-$1K for the set, it's going to be wallowing for the rest of its life. Should this have happened at

That Eldo probably has air leveling ,that's the reason for the $$$. BUT there are a couple outfits that made conversion kits that used conventional parts to eliminate the air ride.

No, it doesn't. A friend's does and it cost a lot more to have those replaced. One more stupid thing that we'd be better off without but have to replace when it dies.

Also, check tire pressure. The majority of people - be they shop technicians, tire installers, or ordinary customers - put the WRONG PSI in their tires: the Max Cold Pressure inscribed on the tire itself. They just simply don't know any better!

Check for a sticker on the driver's side A-pillar, inflate to that pressure, and obey any front-rear differential, IE: F-34psi R-31psi. Those pressures take into account optimum pressures for evasive maneuver tests, sudden stops, etc.

Add 2psi to those numbers if the ride seems too mushy, as long as doing so does not exceed Max Cold pressure inscribed on tires. I do so, and have zero complaints about the ride & handling on my avg. midsize sedan.

The 88 Seville I had did have that. That was nutty. Most times the ass would be dragging. Sometimes the rear would be up like a bitch in heat. Unless you're a Mexican, this is no way for your car to act. Hee hee.
