I did really like the rear legroom and the solid, heavy. firm feel of the RR.

I forgot to mention it ate brakes every couple years, needed a new radiator and water pump, the EAS went out 3X, the rear hatch latches failed, one door latch was jamming, the headliner was falling down, the alarm system would go on if you didn't lock/unlock it just right, there were more problems, big and small, but I can't recall them all because there were so many. My mechanic once introduced me to his son as "the man who is putting you through school". Hopefully you won't become as valued to yours.

Oh BTW, mpg was awful, in sunny CA we got around 12 mpg city and in the winter in OR we were getting <10 mpg.

It could have been worse (maybe), the other vehicle I was liking at the time was a BMW 750iL.
