- Reliability (4)While generally bulletproof compared to European rivals, early 2007 models can suffer from control arm wear and brake actuator issues, though the powertrain itself is legendary for longevity.
- Maintenance (3)Routine service is predictable, but when specialized components like the air suspension or brake actuators fail, the repair costs are significantly higher than standard consumer vehicles.
- Technology (4)Extremely advanced for 2007, featuring an available 19-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, a hard-drive-based navigation system, and an early iteration of automated parallel parking.
- Comfort (5)Setting the gold standard for its era, the cabin is exceptionally quiet with high-quality leather and ergonomic seating that minimizes fatigue even on the longest journeys.
- Dynamics (3)The 380-hp V8 and world-first 8-speed automatic provide smooth, effortless acceleration, but the steering is overly light and the suspension is tuned strictly for isolation rather than cornering precision.
