I feel like I'm driving a Honda.

The air conditioning has not been satisfactory. The exterior windows fog up when we have very high humidity on a rainy/ foggy day making driving very difficult. The ride is no better than the Honda, which costs a lot less. I expected to have an up grade from my old Honda ride, so have been disappointed.

Interior and running

The interior in this car is awful I started cracking not too long after I bought And for what I paid for it it should never have done that. I was very disappointed can not figure out why it is running so rough after having a tuneup. I do not feel like I got what I paid for at all

Great car. Not expensive to own

If you have to change something the parts are cheap but I didn't have any problem expat regular repairs which every owner has to do. Good on gas.

Incredible sports sedan

"Sports sedan" is the right category for this car, which is defined by its incredible engine and performance. Luxury and comfort, while undeniably present in this car, are secondary to performance. This is noticeable in its somewhat stiffer ride, turning grip, engine and driveline tuning, braking, and low seating position within the vehicle. As a Honda product, it does what it was designed to do and does it well. Turn the key, it starts. Press the gas pedal, it goes, etc. It has all the creature comforts of a modern car save one - reliable Bluetooth connection. A common problem in these cars, the bluetooth module goes out and is expensive to replace. Remember that it is a 2008 and was on the leading edge of that technology in autos. Because it has an auxiliary in port, I just used that. Other features are excellent - memory seats, heated seats, dual auto climate control, one-touch front windows, one-touch sunroof, great sound system power seats, etc. etc. Two gripes - transmission and suspension. The trans still works well, but at times feels like it is hunting for the correct gear for the circumstances. In these instances, shifts are more abrupt than in others. But, with 139k, the transmission is still solid. The second is the suspension. As suspension components wore, it caused the tires to wear. No adjustability, only option was parts replacement. That became expensive very quickly. But, once fixed and a new set of skins, that great sports sedan performance was back in full force. If you want a cushy ride, this is not the car for you. If you want a stylish, luxury performance sedan with the reliability of a Honda, look no further.
