Favorite feature: |
Quattro road feel and hold, Bose sound and body style |
Least favorite feature: |
could use a few more horsepower (turbo?) |
Advice to buyer: |
drive the mercedes C280, BMW 528, Lexus ES 300 and/or any others you like, but this is a great value! |
Detailed review: |
The car handles as well or better than anything in the class with the exception of the BMW 528. But, at $5,000 less, it drives pretty well! The steering and feel are not as heavy as the BMW, but the surefootedness is almost as good. The Bose sound package is excellent for a factory system - great upgrade. Also, the Quattro should be mandatory for the price difference. The body is very attractive and well put together, as is the interior. I love not having other people have the same car and the looks I get! Overall, if you include the unbelievable warranty, the driving feel, the amenities and the style, this is a very nice car. We traded our 1997 Lexus ES 300 and it was not even close. Nice car, but totally different feel. |
