I purchased one in November, the AWD. Pretty much fully loaded except for that annoying active speed control, it came to 42K. Jim, that is a whole lot of car for that money. I simply could not find another with all the offerings for my St Charles to Southern MO BiMonthly drives. And once in the Ozarks, this car handles much better than expected. 60, 65 is easy in the hills. As for the sensors, our Chicago winter snows became a pain. Snow on them causes constant beeping at stop lights. Our new Mazda6 S is our zoom, the MKS is our living room. Paul (Mar 8, 2009 | post #1)
