We've always asserted that the wheels can make or break a car's personality. Paint on the Platinum Edition is amazing in its ability to subtly change and refract natural light. It never looks cheesy like many current Ford colors. Trunk is hard to close, in both grip and effort. Remote key fob doesn't respond from more than 10 feet away, and when it does respond, it does so feebly.
Buttons are too small, as well.
DRL's aren't gonna help anybody. Seniors in a Cutlass Supreme cut us off in the middle of a desert interstate by switching into our lane so they wouldn't have to reset the cruise control after passing slow pokes in the right lane. A Corolla pulled into traffic from the local Dairy Queen right in front of us, resulting in a quick test of the Volvo's ABS brakes. A Ford Aerostar cut us off on the Interstate near Los Angeles. Headlights throw an amazingly bright swath of light extending crisply from the front corners of the car at 45 degree angles.
