This engine is mated to GM's 4T65E four speed electronically controlled transaxle. Its shifts are smooth enough to be imperceptible, yet it responds to driver's commands are crisp, decisive and satisfyingly quick. Because of the engines wide power band, first gear can take you to over 50 mph, second gear is good to over 90 and there are still two gears to go. This makes for easy, effortless and relaxed high speed cruising and passing. The interior is as good as the exterior.
Leather is everywhere, including the steering wheel and center console shifter.
At first, the standard power front driver seat feels firm but supportive. But after spending a couple of hours it was even more comfortable. It has a power lumbar support that works. The rear seats are remarkably comfortable. The extra length provides excellent thigh support and the seat back is well shaped.
