 I purchased this car on 10-01-04. It 
has great pick-up. Transmission is 
silky smooth you can hardly feel the 
gears upshift or downshift. The car is 
very roomy inside, leather seats feel 
plush, and comfy.  I love the lumbar 
support, excellent idea.  Very quiet 
engine, low rpm torque is a dream.  H-
rated tires gives it a nice sporty 
ride.  This car reminds me of the 
Lexus ES300, but with more horses 
under the hood. Great visibilty out 
the rear window.  
This car is simply a blast to drive.  
I test drove the 2005 Acura TL and it 
didn't come close to the handling of 
the I35.
