This is a great car for a person my size. Plenty of leg room and very comfortable. This car has plenty of power and is very easy to handle. The car is very quiet.

This car middle of my needs. I had it as a lease for 3 years and I enjoyed all 3. I wound up buying out the lease because I could not get another cruise new. I would recommend it to a friend unfortunately they wouldn't be able to buy one new either.
