You should try either the Hyundai Sonata or Kia Magentis..both are mechanically similar actually..same platform also..So I think it'll be the same experience..
The Sonata cab is actually really very refined..I was surprised! The CRDi diesel engine is actually as quiet and as refined as a Merc E220 CDi's engine..road and wind noise very minimal too..
And the ride..it's a big surprise too..It's surprising how well-resolved the ride actually was..it has a very well-controlled ride that feels like how a European car rides..not as supple as the Merc E220 CDi definitely, but it's not far behind too..I'm really surprised by the European-level of suspension control..
Overall, the Hyundai Sonata 2.0 CRDi is really a very very pleasant surprise..can match the E220 CDi anytime..but the cabin ambience can never match..
