It is a really fast sedan it is loud.
It is fast has a good look to it. It is a gas hog does not go in the snow can only drive it 5 months out of the year.

Fast and Great Handling even after 150k
150k on mine and it still is great. I've had a few problems with it as you might expect but I've also tracked it several times and pushed it hard including letting Randy Post, Professional Race Driver, driver me around Thunderhill a few times showing me some tricks. The car is an amazing handler for a 4 door sedan. Oh, and I get compliments all the time

Amazing exterior and interior! Sure to get attention!
There aren't many problems however, when I must get work done it can get pricey. The car is really flashy, even being 13 years old now I get lots of compliments from people I drive. The inside is easy to maintain and the leather seats are always a nice touch. The car does not however have an aux input which was inconvenient at first but, I got a device which lets me plug my phone into the tape player.

It isn't the greatest luxury car but it's mine
I hate that the transmission seems unreliable. On top of the fuse for the heated seats goes out often and I have to replace my back break light very frequently. I do like the sun roof and the different settings it has. I also appreciate the powered seats and windows.

It easy to drive and is a joy to have it is a luxury car and is worth every cent
It has a tendency to have troubles on hill but usually it does just fine on other road types. Along with that it has a great interior with heated seat and handle and is great for a winter car. And to be true my only complaint is the handling it has when it rains but that just might be my tires that I got last summer.
