Detailed review: |
Really a Lexus - extremely quiet (don't know when the engine is running!), comfortable, and fast. Interior fit/finish and gauge layout exceptional, outside there are better looking cars out there. Handling is good for a car this size, but some trade offs for the superior ride quality.
Engine is amazingly smooth and responsive, seeing 30-32 mpg at 60-65mph highway. Economy does drop overall to 25-27 adding in some in town and using that engine for what it is good at. Regular fuel OK, but it does do a little better on higher grades.
High demand and couldn't get my first color choice - paid sticker - no dealer add-ons, however. A lot of car for $31K. |
