General comments?
A dream car to own, but a nightmare to repair.
Yeah it had problems, but once it's repaired it is one beautiful car to drive and ride in.
Seats are beyond comfortable, stero system is one of the best I have ever heard.
Interior space is more than enough for 5 adults.
All seat warmers work, mmmmmmm happy butts!
Get it on the road and select "S" for sport and send heads reeling! Suprise your friends, and other so called sports cars with the acceleration even though it's only a 3.6 ltr. engine!
On the highway you fly soundlessly with only the tires to the pavement disrupting the serenety.
Corners like a thoroughbred and the all-wheel is superb in all weather conditions!
So you think I like this car? I love it! I will drive it until it dies and parts are no longer available for it. I know one day it will pass on, but until then this car rules!
