Auto Trend Review
By Roby McDowell
On one fine day of early August, I was given an exclusive chance of driving a 4.5 liter Zephirus around the beautiful suburban areas of Birmingham. Although there were no noticeable changes in the basic appearance from the pre-upgrade model, the car was definitely much better than before. The actual, as tested price was $45,350. In spite of the considerably higher price, the features were more abundant, such as auto-folding rear window curtains, and the 8-way leather seat with massage functions I couldn't live without during the test drive session. The best part of the upgrade was, without any doubt, the powerful engine that pulled a 5,400 lb. giant to an exhilarating 140 miles per hour. Also, the cabin was so much more comfortable, without a hint of bump and noise from the outside. One tiresome feature I'd like to point out is the misguiding navigation system. Not only the place names were written wrong, but also the system kept pointing to wrong directions. If not for the navigation, I would have given the car an A+.
