Looked at your list of quiet cars. Not entirely happy with some of the models - the Skoda Superb tyres are noisy on coarse grained road, ride in BMWs is too harsh (and I want a spare tyre), DSG box in VW products is unreliable, some engines (eg Ingenium in Disco Sport) are too noisy. I was really impressed by latest E class - engine virtually silent, but they don't do ventilated seats (!). I want something that improves on my top of the range 5 year old XC70 with laminated windows. Sure it has a noisy engine under acceleration, and the suspension is poor, but ti handles potholes well, the seats are very comfortable and they are ventilated. Can you suggest something as quiet as E class, similar ride, but with vent seats and auto, under £50k? Thanks for your help.
