How it scores for you10 scores
Flagship space and equipment at a mid-lux price — badge-blind comfort shoppers won big; everyone else never noticed it existed.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; 2 of its 3 recalls were serious. About 3% 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.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,100 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 28% of cars we track.
15.9 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 73% of other sedans we track.
Limousine-grade rear legroom; 15.9 cu ft trunk.
Soft, isolated, V8-smooth; a boulevard cruiser with no dynamic ambition.
Feature-dense for the price, but interfaces were dated and CarPlay-era conveniences absent.
Cushy ride, a huge quiet cabin, and reclining rear seats — comfort was the entire mission.
Typical resale value for a sedan.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
