How it scores for you10 scores
A quietly excellent used buy: near-luxury equipment, a durable V6, and big-sedan comfort, rendered invisible by its badge and anonymous styling.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; 1 of its 2 recalls was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +4 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,800 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 44% of cars we track.
16.3 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 80% of other sedans we track.
Large-sedan rear room and a 16.3 cu ft trunk; a genuine full-size package.
Strong V6 in a soft FWD chassis; swift in a straight line, disinterested elsewhere.
Loaded for the money in-period - nav, big screen, full LED touches - but the interface is a decade old now.
Hushed cabin, cosseting ride, and standard leather - near-luxury comfort was the whole pitch.
Typical resale value for a sedan.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
