To be pendantic, the ride quality of the Rolls Royce is still superior. We've had hydropneumatic suspension since the 50s, and that's not a feature anyone thought to include in an economy car. They don't compare to the electronic dampening we have today, but even vintage Rolls Royces are incredibly smooth and quiet.
- MontyCarloHall 5y agoThe adaptive damping suspension available in modern Accords provides a pretty dang smooth ride. I’d love to see someone compare its ride quality head-to-head with a 90s Rolls. I think it would be much closer than you’d think.

- Wildgoose 5y agoCitroën used their fantastic hydractive suspension in their saloon cars - my first two Citroën C5 cars had it, and it was absolutely fantastic. I loved it, but sadly they've now dropped its use.
- mym1990 5y agoJust curious(and don't mean to be smug in any way here): have you driven a 90s RR vs a Honda Accord or a similar competition?
