Can you suggest a car that combines comfort with driving pleasure?
I enjoy driving when conditions and traffic allow. Advancing years and back problems now require me to abandon all but the most comfortable of cars. Can you suggest any models which combine comfort with driving pleasure? My preference is front wheel drive petrol automatic.

We've just driven the new Peugeot 508 and think it answers your brief very well. The seats are extremely comfortable, it drives (and rides) well and you can spec a 225PS petrol engine. Alternatively, if you'd prefer something a bit smaller, there are lots of options. The new Focus is very fun to drive and the eight-speed automatic gearbox is fine. You might find the ride a little harsh, though.
