Up a hill slowed that time to about 9 seconds. I averaged on the trip computer 12.2 mpg with almost no steady speed highway miles and a thorough examination of the abilities of the silky engine. I would expect about 13 mpg to 15 mpg in local driving. Distance cruising should be smooth, silent, sweet and long. A 25 gallon gas tank is standard and should yield a cruising range well in excess of 400 miles.
Flexibility is the operative word.
Front disk brakes are standard with rear antilocks. My test vehicle had this option and the touch and feel imparts the confidence of controlled, quick and sure stops under all conditions. The interior was bathed in soft gray leather with stylish suede, embroidered seat back inserts. Tasteful and comfortable seating for five is provided by the first two rows of seats. Leg and hip room were good and the seats cradle and caress its passengers.
