    My dad has a T5 and he is envious of how good the ride is on the 460.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Gets up and goes thanks to CVT transmission, but the whistling can be irritating.

    Only time this car has failed was a result of something I did (drove through a puddle and the alternator failed!)
