Mind you this is my first time doing any kind of car review or any review for that matter so bare with me
The car Is amazing. The redesign they did is remarkable it no long looks like a generic grandma car I thought it once did. The leather seats and the interior wood trim Is made of some high grade materials. The 3.6 feels close to the 3.6 thats in our v6 camaro which gets that heavy car moving fast surprisingly.The biggest highlight for me even thought it would seem trivial to you guys is the keyless entry and the uconnect. Being able to just walk to your car and put your hand on the handle is a pretty convenient feature and being able to get out your car and have the car lock itself is a big thing considering I sometimes forget to lock my car doors. The u-connect system is leaps and bounds better that mylink do to the fact that everything is touch screen accessible unlike the cts I was in where you have to touch the dials to navigate through the menus and plus there was no lag.The only thing I would say bad about the u connect is its built in bluetooth siginal. I cannot play music or talk on the phone during my time spent with the car without the signal dropping or my music stops playing overall but it could just be me because of the age of my phone (droid charge) . Overall I was able to get around In style and comfort this week and I would consider buying this car In the future just because of all you get for so cheap.
pros
seamless navigation between menus on u connect
premium materials used on the interior
Stout v6 which really makes the v8 options this time around "optional"
Car Doesn't feel as big as it is
cons
built In bluetooth signal
shifter In v6 versions are hard to shift to gears, I can see this being a problem for people with disabilities
gas mileage was is okay compared to the LLT in the lacrosse
the alpine system isn't good. its got to be the weakest link In the car. If you want to keep your car stock I would upgrade to the beats by dre setup.
