Which luxury sedan should I pick?

I am planning to buy my sixth car, which must be a premium sedan. I have shortlisted the F10 BMW 530d, W212 Mercedes-Benz E350CDI, new Jaguar XF diesel S and Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro. My priorities are a good rear seat comfort with supreme ride quality that can absorb all the bumps, but at the same time that should give me class-leading dynamics. My personal experience says that the rear seats in the BMW are the most supportive and comfortable. What do you recommend?

Ride comfort is partly determined by the wheels and tyres. 20-inch wheels with 35 or 40 profile tyres will not absorb surface shocks, while 17-inch wheels with 50 profile tyres will do the job a lot better. While I rate Jaguar suspension as the best, Jaguar does have a propensity to fit 20-inch wheels with 40 or 35 profile tyres. Whatever you choose, do not make that mistake.

From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.
