Most luxurious car I've ever owned.

Only car I've ever driven over 100mph and felt safe.

Awesome interior... leather seats, both 6-way power with lumbar.

Amazingly, all that stuff that went bad, but not because of regular maintenance, but you drove the crap out of it!! One can only wonder how long components on a LUXURY, NOT LUXURY SPORT car will last going over 100mph... wow!
