- Sort by reaction score
My uncle's Aston Martin V8 Vantage and his older VW Phaeton. The Vantage was really fast and really loud too. It was a lot of fun to ride in 
ridden in?
my dad was getting my sister her car.. (an 08 bug) and since it was a porsche dealership too, he took a test drive of a porsche cayenne turbo..i got to go along
next would be a tie between an S550 or sl500. grandma loves benz's btw she was testing both and leads me to the nicest cars ive actually driven..
she didnt get a benz.. she got an 09 lexus ls 460L.. i get to drive it whenever i see her. and her car before..(1996 S 320 which she refused to get rid off.. drive like a tank. the other one i get to drive is my moms 09 Lexus RX 350..
and my truck i get when i get my license soon, is my dads 07 chevy silverado.

smart choice
I love driving my mom's, nothing betters then doing 'above average speed' on the highways listening to Bruce or billy joel on the mark levinson.
Nicest: Friend's 98 750L
Fastest: 89 328 GTB ( shortest 10 minutes of my life)
Biggest: Frieghtliner dump truck. Got up to 4th gear before i got to scared, was doing about 5mph lol.
Most fun to drive: My old 92 acura vigor. It was ugly as hell on the out side, primer grey, rust. But the interior was spotless. I loved going into the parts store to buy 5 spark plugs, and telling them what i had.
I hope to replace all these with in the next 5 years when i buy a LS460L.

Nice not equal to high performance.
Nicest car? That would be a Beemer 750.
I see there are many cars in this thread that, IMO, would class as "high performance" but are definitely not "nice" cars.

wow I've got nothin'. uhhh, I think the nicest I've ever been in is a BMW 5-something.
I was in a 33 Studebaker for a movie.
I own a lifted Jeep so I can go ANYWHERE albeit not at 180 mph. I'm lucky to be able to go half that fast. ha.
Though for any of you that have ridden or driven all those fast, exotic, or nice cars - it's quite a different (but I contend equally fun) thrill to be able to drive in an off-roading vehicle that can go anywhere you could imagine. It's great when there's a blizzard and 16 inches of snow and you're the only person going anywhere

If you're talking luxury car actually on the road, for me it's the Bentley Continental Flying Spur. Very quiet at reasonable speeds (e.g., the posted speed limit ), but capable of out-running almost everything on the road (unlike other German luxury cars, the Continental Flying Spur has no 250 km/h (155 mph) speed limiter, so its top speed is around 195 mph. ). Really comfortable seats and lots of nice luxury features, including individual TV's and fold out tables for each back seat passenger.

I always dreamt stuffing that I-5 into my little '91 Accord. Oh, the fun I could have had.

It would have been one bad mother thats for sure. 170/150, you would have gotten a lot of speeding tickets lol.
Very impressive lists here!
Mine was a real 427 Cobra, was a vintage race car, so it was extra fast. I wasn't really supposed to be driving it, so I didn't go fast...it was worth almost a million!
I have driven a 603 hp Mercedes. Various Turbo Carreras, A D Jaguar race car, Rolls Royce, a couple of older Ferarris, lots of interesting cars cuz I worked in a high-end body shop.
These sorts of cars are scary fast, but I could get used to it.

What a strange thread. edit: which I now realize is very old (should've read the first post ) and coincidentally my answer is:
2006-ish Aston Martin Vanquish S. It was spectacular.
