 Detailed review:

Good space, decent comfort, acceptable performance, and good-to-very good fuel mileage for a V6 sedan. I've had a 3.4L V6 base model for 54000 miles so far with no real problems (turn signals stopped working properly around 34000 miles, then returned to normal after a couple days and stayed that way, passenger door handle also stopped working properly, but also returned to normal on its own). Average fuel economy of about 28 mpg, with over 35 mpg on several long highway trips. Mileage is notably worse in winter months. Power is adequate for merging onto highways, but this is not a hot rod so don't expect much more. Good snow/ice performance on factory uniroyal tires. Overall a good car for family/commuter purposes.

 Also considered:
