| Best interior comfort / sound isolation for <35k?
My old man is retiring next year and I'm hoping to get him a car as a thank you gift.
I'm budgeting myself 35k for either a new or CPO vehicle in order to give him and I a peace of mind when it comes to maintenance issues.
The biggest thing I am looking for is something that offers good interior comfort and sound isolation as he drive on the highway quite often.
Would the obvious choice be something like a VW passat?

My VW Jetta Execline is nice car: quiet, comfortable, great mileage, and all the creature comforts like heated steering wheel, air conditioned seats. Once you have cold air on the jewels, you'll never go back. You should be able to get one all-in for $35k.

If you want peace of mind when it comes to comfort, maintenance, and reliability, wouldn't that automatically point to a Japanese appliance car like the Camcord?

If you can't get an ES, take a look at Avalon. I know old man car but it's just as quiet and because no one wants them they're cheap.

How about a Mazda 6 with the turbo? Lots of selection for a lightly used 2018 right now and considering how slowly they sell maybe even a new 2019 would be gettable for under $35k. Mazda spent a lot of money on making their cars quieter and the turbo 6 is known more for being a cruiser than for being a sports sedan. Also way better looking than any Lexus.

Never really considered the Avalon. Going to take a look at it and compare it with a new Camry.
Thanks for the recommendations! Going to be a busy weekend of test driving!

Also, they're dog slow and fuel-inefficient.

Going to be a busy weekend of test driving! | Keep in mind there will be some similarities, but up until you sit in the Avalon and take it for a drive, you'll notice a significant difference. Hard to say for sure whether the new Camry will be better than the Avalon (given market availability and your price range) but for quiet and comfort, Avalon takes the cake.
