Sorry to hear about the accident, i hope your parents are ok.
Like what jst2878 said, there's just no acceleration power with the e70 3.0 but the ride is nice and stable, very car like; added trunk space a big plus if you carry lots of stuff.
I'm actually beginning to like the ride quality of the e70 since i've been driving a '09 loaner for 3 weeks now ( e53 4.4 at dealer for water leaks).
