 The 2.5SL was my first "new car" purchase.  I love the look of the car and the way it drives, although I should have purchased the 6 cyl. instead of 4.  I didn't get the navigation system, but other than that it's fully loaded (bluetooth, leather, 6-cd changer, bose sound system, sunroof, etc).  The car has been very reliable for me; no repairs needed other than recalls, BUT there were/are a LOT of recalls.  The day after I purchased the car, I found out about a recall and had to go back to the dealership (would have been nice if they told me before I drove off the lot - they could have just kept it for a couple more hours to fix the problem).  I plan to keep this car for a while.
