The V-6 in this car jams up on-ramps and gives you the speed you need on the freeway to juggle the big rigs and congestion safely.  It's also extremely confortable and has all the bells and whistles of a luxury model - heated seats, auto temp control, antenae in the rear window, windows defrost really quick, air circulation is great both hot and cold, sun roof works really well, handles like a charm - very responsive and all the controls are at your fingertips - music, cruise control, etc.  The only drawback and it can be a big one to get used to are the blind spots  - you have to use your mirrors and look carefully before changing lanes!!!  It's also impossible to see the front end of the car, so it takes a bit of time to get a feel for the length of the car for parking purposes - especially parallel parking.  Mechanically, it's great - no problems.  When you put it in drive or reverse, the doors lock automatically for you - it's like it has a brain that takes care of you - feels very safe.  It's a heavy car - not light and flimsy.  Again, very safe - air bags everywhere.  I got the red one, I'm on the freeway a lot and wanted to been seen, not crushed!  It works!
