What cars would you consider luxurious but not necessarily in the prestige car price bracket? By luxurious, in this context I refer to a car that is comfortable, has a good ride quality, and low interior noise, and has a nice quality "feel" to it. I'm not bothered about the bells and whistles as such, purely the dynamic qualities of the car. A car you might sum up as being smooth and quiet perhaps. Any suggestions?

OH has an XJ6 and that is an incredibly smooth comfortable ride with quality feel., all leather and walnut. Only negative is it's a bit of an old man's car which he is not :-)

Consider the X type Jaguar which can be bought for peanuts these days.
You can get a 10 year old Lexus for under £9000 and it drives like dream

Cost over £38,000 new.

Any particular model you refer to Eddie51? Must admit I was impressed with the RX350 when I drove one, are the saloons even better?

What about the S Type shoota? Even better?
Lots of S types around, pretty cheap.
I have not owned one but they have a great reputation and are almost 'banger' price after 5 or 6 years.
Or an S Type Jaguar......

But an X type saloon with a 3.0 V6 and an auto box is a real delight.
I have a Vauxhall Meriva. I know it's not in the class you are talking about but, to me, the heated seats and steering wheel are absolute bliss.
Also E class Mercs, 5 series Beemers and A6 Audi's.
I looked long and hard at the S type trying to like the styling, which harks back to the Mk2 (which I like) but found that I couldn't get on with it. The X type however is a scaled down version of the XJ with the performance of a Porsche 924 but all the practicality of a 45 seater saloon.
Because of the dogs I opted for an X type estate in the end.
I know, silly little woman, lets ignore her. However, some things are really important, like being comfortable.

It has a light on the pull down mirror too. That's luxury.

That should read 4/5 seater saloon not 45 seater - that would be a coach....
LOL, I did spot that shoota.
OH has an XJ6 and that is an incredibly smooth comfortable ride with quality feel., all leather and walnut. Only negative is it's a bit of an old man's car which he is not :-)
.....and it's nice to drive. I love it.
My 2003 Vaux/Astra estate is shear luxury...

compared to the go-kart I had before!
Even 'Sheer'.
Just got hold of a renault Laguna and compared to my last peice of scrap it's a luxury!! If we love our cars they are our own slice of luxury!

I'd love to run a Jag or a Merc, not a fan of Beemers. If cash was no object i'd have a fight between a Ferrari, McLaren or a an Aston Martin... mind you if money was no object I'd have all three and a Poster Red 4.2L long nose Jag E Type as well....;0)
