Acceleration seems wholesome yet not stressed for an automatic. Braking is very responsive and firm. Handling seems floaty, most likely due to worn bushing and shocks. Build Quality seems to be excellent. Slight issue with the glove box not opening all the way. Transmission seems to be worn and in need of a rebuild. Hard downshift to 1st gear. Delay between stop and start. External appearance in the front seems to be outdated and over exaggerated. Interior is excellent. Cost of ownership isn't as bad as one might think. Insurance cost is decent for a luxury car. Gas mileage average is about 29mpg. Maintenance cost is a bit high due to expensive and rare parts. Fun Factor is at a mediocre.
