General Comments:

Excellent road car - tracks like a tiger on ice and snow (and Florida hurricane weather). Quiet.

Averts anything in your way (assurance triple trend tires). This car can do a 360 degree spin on L front tire without turning over. Save my son's life, and the person that stopped his pick up truck crossing the freeway. Great during winter blizzards.

Last car built without robotics.

Rides over bumps like you are on smooth pavement.

Mileage now 216,000 miles (South and North U.S. travel)

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Rides over bumps like you are on smooth pavement. That's what I miss most about these cars!
