It's one of the best sedans of the era, with your choice of an efficient 4-cylinder engine or more powerful V6, a spacious interior, and lots of equipment on loaded XLE models.

On the other hand, it gives the car a smooth and refined character, and sounds better than any turbo four-cylinder engine will in a midsize sedan.

Again, if you've built millions of units, it's generally considered a good engine.
