Its VERY roomy and quiet inside. The 3.0 V6 is just barely enough for it but it can get out of its own way. Its nothing exciting but I think it would make a great DD.
My mom had one for awhile, it was a nice car but too big for her taste. She also freaked out because every time she saw another one on the road the drivers were 65+ (she's a little crazy about her age). Not really a performer but pretty comfortable.
:beer:I have one with AWD.Use it for DD in the winter when the Cobra is sleeping. Good daily driver avg. 20/22 MPG in mixed driving. Two trips to NC. avg 27/29 MPG.
My parents have one...I hate it...its just to mundane. I can't put it any other way...don't get me wrong. I do like quiet luxury cars...but the five hundred is so BLAAAAH. This is coming from somebody who enjoys driving an Accord.
