Living with it
Reliability
One inconvenient surprise, but I believe it is reliable.
Image
Not a Jag, BMW or Merc. Just what I wanted. Not everyone recognizes this sleeper, but those who do give nods and smiles.
Comfort
I appreciate the sturdy ride, firm leather seats and walnut trim.

Security and Service
Security
Good, reasonable, unobtrusive security.
Service
Local dealer needs 3 weeks lead time for oil change, but have also just dropped in and had them address minor issues then and there. Pricey, but excellent service.
