Luxury car with tons of love
Absolutely love my car drives smoothly and haven't had any issues with it, I've had my car for a little over five years

My car is old but still runs really good and is a comfortable ride.
It is super comfortable. I sit up high so I can see everything. Wish it had more bells and whistles to it.

For being 10 years old, the technology of the car is pretty advanced.
Because it is an older luxury car, it has a lot of miles and has some problems. The computer systems are slow to respond when first turning on the car. But for how old it is, it is very fancy.

Don't expect to transport several people and have room for cargo.
The seats are narrow, but the cushion is comfortable. Heated seats are very nice to have. The dash layout is fine with the exception of the vents for the air. The air blows right on your hands on the steering wheel. There is no cargo space at all. The seats are easy to fold down but a bit of a pain to put back in place. The vehicle runs very nicely and has not needed major repair at all in over 100,000 miles. We were able to attach a cargo holder to the trailer hitch and use the luggage rack in order to take 8 people camping. It's a tight fit, but 8 people can ride in the vehicle. I love the driver settings feature so that I don't have to readjust seat and steering wheel when someone else drives.
