"High performance sedan that feels like an expensive sports car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

None.

General comments?

Fast for a sedan. Go with the 3.0 liter 200 hp turbocharged engine. 0-60 in 7 something seconds.

Exterior styling is awesome. Dealer service is excellent. Really like this car!

Don't think there is a 3L turbo! Maybe 2.3L turbo or 3L V6 normally aspirated.

The 3l v6 is definitely turbo charged.

I have a 9-5 Wagon. Stay with the 2.3L four. It's great on fuel and has plenty of power. Stay with the manual trans. It is smooth and easy.

I think this is an elegant piece of automotive work. I left German cars for this and I am glad.

Got a 9-5 2.0SE LPT manual. Thinking of automatic transmission instead - are they any good? (getting lazy..). I concur great power and acceleration with the turbo. A real sports saloon - and better than my brother's E-class.

Good alternative to a BMW or Audi.
