8.2 / 10 Dynamics
9.0 / 10
Engine Performance- A great combination of power and personality, especially at this price.
8.0 / 10 Transmission Performance- Crisp upshifts and downshifts. Manual mode is very responsive.
9.0 / 10 Brake Performance- No sign of fade after several stops; good pedal feedback. Short stopping distances given the vehicle's heavy weight.
7.0 / 10
Steering Perfomance- Not quite up to Euro-car standards but better than most domestics.
8.0 / 10 Handling- Quite good for a large, heavy family sedan in this price range.
