That is one nice ride! The white looks really cool and I am not even a white type of car guy! Sweet.

My daily driver changes on my mood but it is now a 05 Honda Civic SIG coupe, EX in the US. Great car with fuel economy and performance.

c4 ride is much more harsh and has massive door sills so you have to lift your legs way high to get into and out of it. c4 is a fun car but c5 has more juice and is much more easy to live with as a daily driver.

I always did like how the entire front tilted forward everytime you popped your hood though that was kinda cool :P

Default Other comfortable / driver ?

Oddly yes, I have a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix GT with a 3.8 liter V6 with a Eaton M-90 supercharger on it. It's got everything a Cadillac has, only it's a Pontiac. I've have had every fluid & filter flushed and refilled and I have to say it'd a big mid-size 4 door sedan. But it's very comfortable, heated sets and a "Monsoon" audio system that really rocks, but more over it's a car I can hop in and rocket out to California without a worry.

Love My 2003 Corvette, but the supercharged Pontiac can really give you a Boost when your in fourth gear and punch it, that supercharger is a real a%$ kicker. Sad GM didn't leave Pontiac in the line up would have been a great addition. Why they cut Pontiac and kept GMC division stumps me ?

Besides my 06 Grand Prix, I have my '03 Corvette and a '04 Chevy SSR. My DD is the Grand Prix and I have to agree with "KILLIAN" they are real nice daily drivers, a tear rolled down my cheek when GM killed Pontiac! Between the SSr and Corvette both are fun but the Vette is superior for sure. Greetings, Rob

I've got to say, it's not a "car," but my pimped out 4Runner Limited. It's a much different, smoother ride, but I do love my C5!!

My STS is ok but nothing compares to the vette. I probably drive it too much to work, but I can't seem to quit driving it.

Only when I don't feel like shifting gears, I am still in love with my Impala SS. Showing it's age and 180k on the clock it's still comfortable and fast as it needs to be.

I had a 95 coupe and it was great, but for looks and comfort and
all around engineering the 2003 coupe has it beat by a mile.

You gotta be kidding me. This is a trick question, isn't it?
