What's the best car for soaking up potholes?
My local roads are becoming ever more potholed. What's the best car for comfort on poor quality roads?

Citroen tries to focus on comfort with mixed results. The C3 Aircross isn't as comfortable as you'd expect, but the Citroen C4 and C5 Aircross are both very comfortable. Also look at Skoda models – they're usually softer than other VW Group alternatives. Try to avoid cars with big alloy wheels and low profile tyres as these are usually firmer than cars with small wheels.
