Our '01 hauled me and my CEO's fannies ~1700 miles from our NC Mtn home to NJ last week and back, for our usual June run for our granddaughter's 12th...
It ran better than my Rolex, got 20.9 overall on the trip, consumed less than half a qt of oil, (high rpms at highway speeds in our 5 speed manual), and still looks better than 90% of the 'suvs' on the road.
Handles well, stops like it hit a wall of Jello, makes me 'feel good', or as good as I can feel at this age.
