Comments
Favorite feature:	Smooth, quiet ride and Sirius Satellite radio
Least favorite feature:	Controls for A/C, Heat and sound system, plus somewhat cheap interior materials
Advice to buyer:	Overall great value, especially if you enjoy pushing dozens of function buttons...
Detailed review:	After 10,000 miles with it, I still find the using the A/C and Heat controls (manually) somewhat frustrating. Also the sound system controls are way too complex and distract from keeping eyes on the road. Heating up the floor area also takes way too long. Front window is always somewhat fogged up summer and winter unless you have A/C on. Frustrating to run A/C in winter. Like handling, smooth quiet, ride and looks. Also really like Sirius Satellite radio. Plenty of room. Great Brakes and safety features.
Also considered:	2004 Acura TL 2004 Buick Regal 2004 Chevrolet Impala
Vehicle purchased:	2004 Nissan Maxima
