How it scores for you10 scores
A genuinely comfortable, quiet full-sizer with an 18.8-cu-ft trunk and honest reliability, giving up only driving excitement and modern tech.
Reliability70

Recalled far less often than cars of the same model years; 1 of its 4 recalls was serious. About 5% 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 +2 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.

Running costs52

About $2,600 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 52% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility91

18.8 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 91% of other sedans we track.

Passenger space75

Full-size cabin with generous rear legroom and an enormous 18.8 cu ft trunk.

Driving fun45

Composed and surprisingly willing with the 305-hp V6, but a big soft sedan at heart.

Tech45

MyLink touchscreen with phone mirroring by mid-generation; adequate, never cutting-edge.

Comfort70

Praised at launch for its quiet, absorbent ride and spacious, comfortable seats.

Value retention55

Typical resale value for a sedan.

Capability0

No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
