comfortable riding midsize car

In the older years, and living in a growing city. The roads have
numerous cuts and patches upon patches.

Seems like the newer models have lower profile tires, and stiffer
springs for handling, but are becoming bone jarring on this types of
road.

Is there one midsize vehicle that stands out for comfort.?

We had a 2010 Dodge Avenger that was very comfortable and got very good
mileage. Standard suspension, tires and wheels. Our Charger also
rides very smooth.

Just look for the biggest, heaviest, 70s/80s boat you can find. You'll think you've died and gone to heaven. Paying for the gas might be hell, though.

BUT my '88 Eldorado wallows and bottoms easily in the 'trenches' where
residential streets come together and I have to take the speed humps at
15 in a 25 mph zone.

Some people say the old Citroen (French car) cars have a wonderful ride. But working on them can be a nightmare. Don't buy a nightmare car.

I think your main problem is that you're driving too fast. 15 in a 25
mph zone sounds about right. Forget about rushing, take your time and
enjoy that cushy ride. If you wear a pork pie hat and drive slowly,
nobody's gonna be messing with you - not much anyway.

.... so long as you're not black (anywhere), Mexican or of
other "dark" complexion, particularly in specific locales.
