Default What do I need?

I'm seriously considering acquiring a C4 , but never having owned one before I don't know for sure which one would best meet my needs .....hoping someone can give me some answers..... I'm 65 years old, so would probably be pretty easy on whatever I get, and am more interested in:

Smoother ride
Gas Mileage
dependability
comfortable seats

any other info that someone thinks I should consider.....

100k miles wouldn't bother me, if it's been taken care of......

Fire away!

The newer c4 models, the better. Probably 91 & up. Some models have adjustable shocks, a 3 way switch on the console. The 94-96 seats are bigger, might be better to sit in than the sport seats, but I haven't tried that. I have a 91, with sports seats.

Look for low mile vettes. Lots are in excellent condition. You'll save the money in the long run.
