Love this car!
Date of Review: Jun 29, 2002
The Bottom Line: Bigger better roomier and more style than the leading competitor Camry. By the way the Camry cost more and is not as comfortable.
I test drove the 3.5 V-6 and after the 2.5 four. Big mistake! Once you taste the 240 horses, you can't settle for less. This car is a rocket.
Hint, the 3.5 can get real pricey. I held down the cost by 3 grand by opting for one without the Sunroof/Leather/Bose.
My shrewd negotiating got me a spoiler to seal the deal and price out at 22306, my tax took me to a drive out of 23568.00. That's not bad considering some of these sticker for 27 grand. The 3.5 is loaded with 17" alloys, Power driver seat, Pw/Pl/remote keyless enrty. Tele-tilt wheel, in dash 6-cd player. The standard sound system sounds pretty darn good, do you really need a 900.00 bose system?
Everyone stops me to ask me about this car.
Now have a 1000 miles and all is at 100 percent.
Dealers are not giving these away, look to knock about 1800 dollars off the sticker after some heavy duty negotiations. Drive this before you buy the 4 cyl model. That was plenty peppy at 175 horse but no comparison to the SE V6. Also check the options list the SE-V6 has about everything but the cool molded platic mud flaps and the really classy spoiler. Add those and floor mats as I did and your done.
