This vehicle has excellent build quality--it does not rattle, has a very smooth ride, is built strong, and has not had any mechanical issues. The car is heavy and you feel very safe in it, although this means the car doesn't exactly handle like a sports car. The heavy set of the car, along with the V6 engine, also means that it's not the best on fuel mileage. The styling isn't anything special, and the middle console seems to be made of "pleather" that peals. The accessories are also fairly basic, as the car doesn't come with an electronic key fob and doesn't have an auxiliary jack.

It is a full-size sedan hybrid. The car gets good traction in the winter but still gets 36 mpg on the highway. These score well in reliability in Consumer Reports and on the JD Power web site. The interior is super plush and relaxing.
