"Heaven comes standard"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong.
General comments?
This car unbelievable! The minute I sat in it I knew I had to have it. The seats are so comfortable!!! I have fallen asleep many a time waiting in parking lots. The handles like a dream. it is silent. I drive very long distances every week and it is a pleasure to drive. The car feels like it wants to be driven fast. During the third week of ownership I couldn't hold my right foot back anymore and I gunned it down a dark empty Highway. I hit 140 mph and it felt just like 90 mph except for the objects around you are zooming by at an alarming rate.
