The car was absolutely wonderful. It has wonderful steering along with a solid engine and transmission that purrs for days. I loved the car in almost all aspects. Wonderful interior. Leather always stayed sharp along with great precision on turns. There were a couple of odd problems that were simple enough to get fixed, such as electrical issues. Sometimes the car battery along with the car keys were unresponsive, but with replacement it solved the issue.
Story
It was really nice to often get compliments on the car looking so wonderful I can remember a time where my car was put in front of the valet display at caesars next to cars 10 times its price. It was a fun sight.
Pros
There are a lot of wonderful things about this car. It looks and handles like a dream. It has a smooth drive along with great features on the car. It made it easy to get from Point A to Point B with ease. High quality performance along with a great response time for any issues. Really nice design for the car that still looks wonderful today.
Cons
There were a few cons to the car. My model did not come with a connection from the trunk to the back seat. I thought was was quite odd and when investigated I found out it was an option or available on another car. I would figure something that simple would just be standard. There were also issues with O2 sensors going off along with false readings on a replacement for the MAF. The volume control on the control pane was too sensitive and has detached itself. They really need to find a sturdier option. Parts on the car were also expensive, but I understand that. Tires also go out too often ... (more)

This is one of the best vehicles I've ever driven, let alone owned. Perfect in every way, with equal parts sport and luxury. The beautiful exterior does not prepare you for the perfect interior. It's like driving a sporty, luxury tank.
Story
I've had that baby up to 185 miles per hour.
Pros
Fast, comfy, warm, sounds wonderful. The whole car is built to impress.
Cons
The heavy feeling of driving the car, hence the tank name. Cost of maintenance.
