Message: I made the decision to have a full size rental.......... for this extended stay for the winter climate in Quebec because I was feeling more secure in a bigger car if any snow storms may have happened.....yes,I have had to drive through one between Montreal and Quebec City March 1st. It is a nice car but I am not impressed........fit and finish is good, performance is average, it is roomy otherwise the powered controls systems are not easy to be familiar and just to find the trunk release switch is quite a search which means it is better to look at the key fob. Handling is still your father in law ride and nothing exciting but safe if you are conservative. To conclude........I have quite a ride with my 2011 Infiniti G37S here in USA. I am not even impressed with the Cadillac plastic fit and quality. My second choice to an Infiniti would be a Lexus and not even another foreign brand in the 50K price range as a BMW or MB. They are over priced and expensive to service.
