I would love to have a mint-condition 1988 caddy sedan de ville, with the hydraulic dampers.

can you tell me how well it filters out the rough bumpy roads?



Like all short wheelbase cars it doesn't like bumps, but it's better than most. Luckily I don't drive fast, and although I live in a rural area the roads are pretty good.

though I really wished I could drive one of those things, they are attractively compact and easy to park in tight spots, as well as having excellent gas mileage.

I don't currently own a car as I don't get my licence until august, unfortunately there's quite a big difference between the cars I want and the cars I can afford.
