Ride is very smooth, equal to competing Japanese & German vehicles
The engine and six speed transmission in the XR mate well. Quick response when switching lanes or on onramps.
Extremely quiet, the equal of any comparable Honda, Toyota or Nissan as well as German sedans in price range.
Handles very well on twisting roads as well on the interstate. It may not be a sports car but for a sedan it more than holds it own.
