ALthough not econmical a Volvo S70 / hight spec 850 T5 is truely awesome, just under 2500 rpm @ 70 - and during my recent europe trip did a smooth 5 mile run @ 125 mph on cruise control !!! I would say they are the most comfortable cars for the job !

 

My old impreza was really quiet, when out of fuel

 

Yeah my Impreza's really quiet too ............................... sitting in the car park

 

lexus ls400....cheap as chips....and silent.

 

For £5000 you could pick up a rough Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II or III.

It'll be a shed, but a quiet shed at that

 

as above lexus LS400 pure luxary..!!

I can hear my Scooby rattling from here while it's parked up

 

ona smooth road you cant hear a thing in my 3 series.

 

My old V6 Audi A6 2.4

 

My Laguna V6 was very quiet. Great car actually - very underrated

 

Lexus Gs300 or LS400.

 

Sfunny but I don't remember any diesel Lexus, Rolls Roys, Impreza... am I out of touch?

 

Honda Ledgend 3.5 V6

 

An electric milk float?

 

Rover 75

 

Well he did say preferably diesel

Yet to find a truely quiet diesel, closest was a MCi Renaissance Coach..but that's providing you sit at the front

 

to complete the question the answer is a old toyota camry a k plate 3 litre 24 valve V6 GX saloon has approx 190bhp 190 lbs torque, 0 - 60 8 sec, big comfy well handling leather lined armchair all for about £2000 or less

 

agree as above, camry, bargain for money and very nice comfortable cars, most popular family saloon in america not long ago.

 

Citroen XM 2.1 or 2.5TD.

I used to have a 2.5TD 'Exclusive' and it was the most relaxing and quietest car i've ever been in. Drove to Paris and back in 24hrs once and it was lovely.

Fully active hydro-pneumatic suspension so they handle amazingly yet are still soft and quiet when cruising.

Only downside is, they're not to everyones taste and there's a lot to go wrong on them. If i gave up Scoobys i'd have another.

You can pick them up well cheap now.
