| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
With 28 to 30 mpg on the highway with a vacation load of luggage, food and other equipment she takes to the road with ease and comfort I never had in any car I previously owned. Mileage is close to the intermediate size Buick I used to drive but this car is much more comfortable and worth the mileage difference. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Only getting about 4-500 km per tank of gas |
| 2002 | 4dr Wagon 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
22 or 23 MPG at best on the highway is mediocre but not terrible given the size and 24V V6. |
