What is it like to drive a Luxury car?

1 Answer

Answer :

Depends on the type. Different cars drive quite differently. Some American luxury cars are a bit like driving a boat / sofa with soft seats, soft ride, and lots of room. I’m partial to BMW sedans, which have a tight suspension that makes speed bumps jarring but lets you feel the road. They’re very well balanced and accurate for fast tight turns (and recovering from loss of traction), have nice easy transmissions (I prefer manual) that allow for bursts of acceleration, are fun to drive but may scare passengers…
