- Reliability (4)Highly dependable overall, though some 4-cylinder models of this era are known for excessive oil consumption as they age.
- Maintenance (5)Routine service is affordable and parts are widely available, making it one of the most cost-effective mid-size sedans to keep on the road.
- Technology (3)For 2009, features like the JBL premium audio and Bluetooth were advanced, but the infotainment interface is clunky by modern standards.
- Comfort (5)As the top-tier trim, the XLE offers plush leather seating, dual-zone climate control, and a very quiet cabin that excels on long highway trips.
- Dynamics (3)The ride is tuned for softness and isolation; while comfortable, the steering lacks feedback and there is significant body roll in corners.
