We bought this car when it had 50,000 miles on it.Now at 105,000. Still going good!Regular work done on it like brakes,rotors,tires,oil changes,etc. That is all normal wear and tear. On second muffler but first one was a cheaper one. Biggest expense was the security in the ignition and key.Kept shutting the car down, making it think it was being stolen.Brought it to dealer and they bypassed the security chip-$380. Most expensive repair done to it. Great in the snow too! Northeast can be brutal! Stereo has shorted out but that's an easy fix too! No major issues. Would recommend a buick. Trading her in next week, need an upgraded vehicle with newer specs!

In the five months since July 2003, I have driven this car on one 7,000 mile and one 2,000 mile trip in every conceivable mix of traffic, road surface and weather (including some high elevation snow). It handles very predictably under all conditions, has plenty of quickly available power to handle passing or mountain driving, and returns excellent gas mileage. On one occasion, I drove just under 1,000 miles in one day, with another driver relieving me for only about 100 miles. The car was comfortable and not tiring, even with the excess miles/day. Fuel economy hovers around 30 miles/gallon on highway trips.

Strong, smoooth, fuel efficient engine. Comfortable interior, needs more lumbar. Lots of toys. Some quibbles: climate control less than intuitive, Smartstalk wiper and cruise combined, no mist function, small glovebox, backseat for kids only, glass in rear window optically "off", embedded antenna weak.

I have had this car for 11 years. I love it and it is very reliable. It's still in great shape and I take good care of her; she's never let me down. I highly recommend this vehicle. The back seating area can be a little tight if the front seats are pushed back. The trunk is enormous. I just wish it had 8 way power seats rather than 6 way and that the a/c vents had the 6 way vents (up, down, left to right, on-off wheel) like my Oldsmobile had.

Well... not exactly... but this car is a sleeper. Just put your foot on the gas and your off to 60 in no time... BMW's need to watch out! I have the Abboud series... so the colors and signage on the car are a little fancy and unique. Very comfy... and... did I say fast? Love this car.
