Was a little unconventional and striking when first introduced and it still is today.
The V6 and 6-speed automatic are as close to perfect as you could imagine. The car seems to always be in the right gear and the right time. I think it can read my mind.
It is very well balanced especially given its front weight bias. It turns in on queue, stays pretty flat even at higher turning rates. The damping is just right and there is very little nose dive in hard braking.
Not perfect (my 2010 Flex is perfect) but certainly in line at this price point. Everything fits; nothing squeaks even at 70K miles (almost.) This is a keeper.
