4.0 Exterior | 4.0 Comfort | 4.0 Performance |
3.0 Fuel Economy | 4.0 Value for Money |
Exterior-smart and sedate, a good looking limo, the front grille is simplistic but goes with the looks, not much chrome on this model but that is now hardly there on present day cars
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)-comfortable , neat and spacious, but there is a major blind view for the driver if he has to look at traffic to his left(and slightly behind) parallel towards the co drivers window. The view problem is compounded on round-abouts . The window post blocks this vision---a serious flaw in my opinion.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox- definitely good except that you get an average of about 8 Kms to a litre , A/C on.Even in top gear and low speeds the engine does not stutter or stall , a plus point for city driving(this aspect becomes debatable if the A/C is on)
Ride Quality & Handling-good,extemely smooth , takes on turns very gently and the power steering is a big help. Surprisingly the turning radius is not a matter of concern , believe me .
Final Words-typical Japanese quality, as expected from them and the Germans not to forget the Koreans!!!
Areas of improvement-fuel economy , rear window wipers and distance measuring equipment for ''backing'' the car(could be optional)
We'll get some overhead lifters, and four barrel quads, oh yeah Keep talkin', whoah keep talkin' FueGo, greased lightnin', you're burnin' up the quarter mile -but what about fuel economy????
