General Comments:
This car really gets moving. It is amazing for a car this old, and this big to gain speed the way it does, and once you get it going, you better pray that your brakes are working, cause that thing just keeps going. 0-100 in approximately 16 seconds (when bottomed out)
Really comfortable car to be in.
Big trunk.
Quiet.
Paint is still good.
But the only downside to this car is that it eats a lot of gas as it is, but I like to open her up every time I get in, and believe me, if you own one, you know, you can watch that gas gage go down.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Actually, I do own one, and I'd have to disagree with you about gas mileage. This car, for being so big, has amazing gas mileage. The main reason for this is you can pick up speed without even touching the gas. If you're on level ground and take your foot off the gas, it keeps speeding up.
It's a bomb. I would swear mine does 0-60 in five and a half seconds, but maybe I was counting poorly when I 'tested' it. (no stopwatch) This car is also indestructible. It WILL run forever. No questions. :)
