Quote History Quoted:
I catch rides from friends due to health, most of them drive dinky cars that I have to drop myself in and then drag myself out. And they ride like shit if you have back issues.
My woman had a Pathfinder I liked, step boards and a good grab handle to get in and then getting out was a matter of falling out. Now she drives a Sentra. I have to be mindful of not using the door as a grab handle getting in/out. 6'3" 220 lbs, I will break the hinges over time.
One friend has a Lincoln that rides like a water bed.

My health is shit too. My back was broken in two places in a fall, July 17 will be 35 years ago to the day. I'm a truck guy and usually have trucks and SUV's, but I love big sedans.
Back in the late 90's I drove a black Buick Roadmaster sedan. Best riding car I've ever owned. You couldn't tell how fast you were going without looking at the speedometer. There was so little road and wind noise it was ridiculous! Huge sway bars kept it level in turns at high speeds and you couldn't feel bumps in the road! God I loved that car!
I've had two Escalades, current vehicle is one, and the first one was an '05 2WD and it was as quiet, and rode as well as the Roadmaster, but didn't handle roll as well.
The current is a '16 4WD and it's sport mode handles roll almost as well as the Roadmaster, but I don't think it rides as well as my old Escalade.
BUT, it could be subjective because my health is worse and I just feel it more now.
