Top 10 European Cars for Cruising

Updated: 29 Nov 2024

Ok. Inspired from someone’s post about top 10 best American cruisers, I have made the European version of this, as I’m a Euro car fan.
This is my first blog post. But, sorry for the quality given (maybe the quality of the post is too s*).

1. BMW 5 Series Sedan

Yes. I could choose the 7 series, but the 5 Series is a better choice on cruisers. It’s way more cheaper then the 7, and also is a good runner. Want something faster? Get an Alpina B5 BiTurbo. Although I prefer the M5 over the B5 BiTurbo, but, hey, the B5 is designed for Autobahn cruising and it’s better for driving slow, too.

2. BMW 6 Series Convertible

Wanna a two seater? A 6 Series convertible is a perfect choice for cruising. It is an grand tourer designed in mind, adding a soft top is also great, too.

3. Aston Martin DB9

The DB9 is fast, but it’s a good cruiser too because it is designed to become that. You can always upgrade to DBS, too. But, hey, at least you just became a James Bond impersonator (although he droves a DB10 now)

4. Mercedes Benz SL

The SL is also a good grand tourer, despite it’s more of a large sports car. Yes, It is, but it’s also a great GT, too.

5. Citroen SM

The SM is ill-fated, yet legendary. Although it fitted with a measly 2.8 V6 (from Italy), but it’s still comfy and fast (for a French car), and it’s a perfect French GT ever built.

6. Gordon-Keeble

Powered by a Chevrolet V8, though this is an GT, not an muscle car. The interior had an old luxury jet feel, with white on black gauges, toggle switches, and quilted aircraft PVC.

7. Audi R8 V8

Why the V8? 420ps isn’t what a supercar is now, but the V8 engine is hell better than the V10. Also, it comes with an manual transmission. And AWD is an good thing, too.

8. Maserati Bora

The Bora is thirsty, yet the Bora is very smooth. And it also have a 4.7 V8 can make the car run to 275 km/h. It is classified as a supercar, but is a great cruiser, thou.

9. Lamborghini 350GT

The original 350 GT marks the starting point for Lamborghini. So, 3.5 V12, and fast speed? Who cares if this is a historic GT?

10. VW CC

All above too expensive for you? Get a VW CC, although slow, but good enough for cruising, and you don’t need to break your wallet after owning it.

This would be number one if you just drive one.. Don’t get me started how comfortable the chairs are.

You missed the AMG GTS

Best cruiser .

I’d be happy with a 535d Touring.

Any car is a great cruiser…If you’re brave enough

I think the Citroen Xantia V6 is better than the SM, because it isn’t just more powerful by 20hp (190hp in total), it doesn’t roll in corners!

Citroën Xantia Activia Break then you can also take a lot of stuff with you,

C’mon, what about the W123?

Any Citroen with hydraulic suspension is perfect cruising car - from DS 19/21 to C6. Aside from that, Morgan plus 8, or Alfa Romeo Spider.

Even tough every European knows that the France make the most comfortable cars. Still we see more Germans in the list, which are at least stiffer (and the room in the back as well as back seats are horrible.)
Strange list I say. And btw, I like japanese the most and Sweden kicks german ass in comfort as well.
