Best Car
I sustained many injuries while on active duty. I've owned four cars since I retired. Eventually all of them were given to my kids because they did not provide the physical comfort I require to drive a car. The combination of the power of the V8 engine and cruise control on long trips help me achieve gas mileage I had with my previous car's V6 engine, although in city driving I only get 20mpg. I was disappointed in that, with a CV LX, I expected a few more gadgets inside. Leather interior is great, but the factory receiver and CD player didn't have an axillary port, nor a USB port (that have been pretty standard in cars for at least 5 years). I had to replace the stereo with one that provided all of that. There is only ONE place to plug-in for a power source for a laptop or other device. There is nothing in the backseat area, no ashtrays or lighters, and the armrest/seat divider could have had a storage compartment built in but doesn't. Also, the dashboard lights in the control center dim far to much during the day time and are too dim night. Simple things like map lights separate from the dome light and positioned closer to the windshield, a change holder, a place for sunglasses, pen and paper (easily accessible), and a place to store CD's would have been nice, and what I'd expect in a car that was labeled an "LX". Other than that, it's a great car.
