Summary:
Nice
Faults:
Had to replace the left steering rack at about 130K km, which was about $150, so no biggy, didn't affect anything, but couldn't get a warranty of fitness because of it.
General Comments:
"Handles like it's on rails" - used to, with directional tyres, now replaced with non-directional "Rain max" from Maxxis, replaced all four, handles even better, much better cornering.
Power steering hydraulic system is incredibly powerful. The 2.5 V6 engine is pretty good, about 220 BHP according to specs, slow in automatic mode, but it's a Tiptronic, so you can shift up when you want to.
A very comfy car, although the suspension is a bit stiff compared to the likes of Lexus and other large Toyotas. Overall, it's nice to drive.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
