I agree it does not have much power for such a big car, however, it is very dependable. You just have to realize its limitations. Merging takes awhile, but once up are up to speed and in the upper RPM ranges, it is very capable. Drove ours loaded with 5 people and luggage on a 7 hour trip. It did very well. That being said, now that I have the 3.6, I'd never go back.
