It is a good thing that PC's keep getting smaller then.

Toyota Avalon lol. But seriously, have you sat in one lately? While it's quite sluggish and boring, it's so smooth to drive. I used to see these as chauffeured cars all the time. And with the fact that resale hit it badly, you can find some for quite cheap.

Another vote for FE LTD, the seats in those bad boys were like your couch at home.

well i gotta say the falcon drove the length of the north island in a day and still managed to do laps around the street circuit when we got home, without a dout whenever in the falc and were on our way home its always "take the long way home"

Fairlane, preferably my ZA when (if) its ever done.

Driving a ZA is like driving a sofa.

Having Done 5000k's in the last 5 weeks mostly country highway, i give a thumbs up for my LPG falcon ute. comfy as, great cruise, just a little on the firm side though. Also love my NL fairlane very comfy, floaty, just a bit deerer to run than the LPG.

it`s pretty hard to fault the big falcon /fairlanes for cruiseing, i did 4000 k`s with a 16 foot van in tow and a car load, some days were 40 degrees the average was mid 30`s, came home with nothing to do exept drop the van and unload the car (no repairs on the car) i was wrapped it was effortless in the xr6, no doubt a higher series would have been even better but for towing with a van the stiffer suspension of the xr was great, you just would`nt do this in a revvy euro with no torque.

Who cares about economy cars like a golf on the open road, give me an 8 anyday, done plenty of good runs with the T3, GT/P would be nice as well but what the heck a C63 may be just LOL....
