> 20 years old Mercedes is more comfortable than a brand new Toyota

Is that true? It's been a long time since I've been in a 1996 S-class [0], but the Toyota Avalon Hybrid is rather comfortable.

Most Uber x drivers aren't in an Avalon. I usually get a Camry or a Prius here in the bay.
I'd wager that a Camry is still more comfortable than a 20 year old Merc. The Prius is debatable.
The new Camry and Prius (V) are fantastic - that's what the taxis in Canberra, Australia are being replaced with, since the Ford Falcon AU hasn't been made since 2005 and the cars are starting to fall apart.
I'd say yes. Had a 92 E class and it was one comfortable car.
