I had this as a rental for a whole week.

Quite impressed at the size -- this thing is bigger than Cadillac STS, The MBZ S-class and even the Ford crown victoria!! That's big!! More than enough space for large size American derrieres. Seats are very solid and not squishy -- comfy for long journeys.

But the engine has plenty of silent and smoothly delievred Torque and the suspension feels very solid and sure-footed, with none-of the floaty feeling found like in the American cars. Gas guzzler as expected with about 18 MPG average. Still a lot better than any American make land-yacht.

For ~$25,000 what else do you want?
