Whether you're taking an hours-long road trip or just driving down the street, comfort is important. As is the case with most cars, there are some models that simply offer a more comfortable ride than others, and according to Kelley Blue Book, some of the options that don't have to break the bank.

Though most people think they'll have to splurge to ride in the lap of luxury, that's not exactly the case. There are plenty of vehicles available that come in at under $30,000, and if you find a quality used car it may be even more affordable.

"With a multitude of Americans spending hours in their cars daily between work commutes, carpools and a host of other activities, comfort is king for many when choosing a new vehicle," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com.

At the top of the list is the 2012 Chrysler 300. This powerful car not only looks the part, but comes complete with a number of attractive amenities as well. In addition to its spacious interior, the 300 has a 8.4-inch touchscreen and dual-zone auto climate control.

Along with the 300, the Volkswagen Passat has grown to be a comfortable, yet affordable car. The mid-size sedan makes the list because its is especially adept at absorbing bumps in the road, making for a smooth, easy ride.

Other cars that made the cut were the Subaru Legacy, Buick Regal and Chevrolet Cruze. Anybody looking to get behind the wheel of a comfortable pre-owned vehicle may want to head to New Jersey State Auto Auction. With a wide variety of makes and models to choose from, you'll certainly find the car you're looking for.
