Balanced handling with a rear bias. AWD assures sure-footed confidence. Accurate feedback from steering input.
Smooth shifting transmission, responsive engine particularily in "Sport" mode. Operates well at high rpm.
Stopping distance is excellent for such a heavy car. Brake feel is consistent (note I have upgraded rotors and pads). Car feels substantial and solid.
Small V6 returns 25mpg on average in mixed driving. I believe this is excellent for an AWD car.
