Used-car sleeper. Very distinctive (few on the road; bargain on the used market due to death of Olds). Similar to $50k Caddy STS; mine stickered over $40k, but I got it used w/27k miles for $17k). Styling? love it or hate it (I LOVE it). Base is loaded, few options. Mechanically, hit-or-miss (GM build quality issues). Mine, other than water pump, has been mechanically solid (was for the 1st owner - check maintenance history!). Lots of technology - a third-party extended warranty is recommended.

After 10+ years of driving BMWs this car was a surprise. I didn't like driving it. The wife liked it, so we bought it. Six years later, I love it. It is rock solid, low maintenance, gets good gas mileage and is great to commute in.

Fun to drive, Affordable to the masses now after starting with a price tag of $38K in 98. Controls are ready for use with the "cockpit" styled interior. Starting to see more mechanical stuff go wrong now at 75K mi. Brakes, calipers, alternator, air conditioning, steering noise at low speed turns, Tried riding in the back seat for 1st time... why is the ceiling so low? So many of them on the road now, it's hard to feel original...

Comfort Plus

Perhaps the best-priced, luxury sedan on the market today. Excellent balance between comfort, power. Suprisingly good fuel economy. Egonomically, nearly perfect. Excellent reliability during its first 100K of life. Would buy another one in a heartbeat.
