- Reliability (3)While generally robust, this specific year suffered from Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) issues leading to oil consumption and premature spark plug wear.
- Maintenance (3)Routine service is affordable, but the V6 requires a costly timing belt replacement every 100k miles, and early models had issues with rapid rear brake pad wear.
- Technology (4)For its era, the voice-activated navigation and premium audio are excellent, though the center console is cluttered with a high volume of physical buttons.
- Comfort (4)Exceptional interior space that rivals full-size sedans, though road noise is slightly more prominent than in its primary Toyota competitors.
- Dynamics (4)The 3.5L V6 offers strong acceleration with 268 hp, though the 2008 model's increased size and weight make it feel less agile than previous generations.
