How it scores for you10 scores
An 18-cu-ft trunk and limo-grade rear seat make it the honest comfort special - soft-riding, tech-dated, and destined to depreciate hard.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; 1 of its 5 recalls was serious. About 6% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -3 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,950 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 35% of cars we track.
18 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 91% of other sedans we track.
Limo-grade rear legroom and an enormous 18 cu ft trunk made it the livery-fleet default.
Front-drive-based comfort barge; the 410-hp V-Sport is quick but the chassis never encourages it.
CUE-era interface with its well-known lag and durability complaints.
Magnetic Ride softness, quiet cabin, and armchair seats; built for effortless miles.
Luxury brands like Cadillac tend to lose value faster than average.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
