Driving Impressions

We expected a luxurious ride from the Chrysler LHS and we weren't disappointed. What really caught us by surprise was this big sedan's powerful and agile performance during every stage of our road test. In highway passing trials, the big 3.5-liter, 24valve V6 took just a shade longer than three seconds to go from 30 to 60 mph. We were duly impressed to find that the LHS rocketed from a standing start in near performance-car fashion.

The vehicle's superb traction control system and variable-assist power steering provided precise handling, cornering and a sense of total driving ease and control throughout our road test. On both wet and dry pavement, the four-wheel anti-lock brakes treated us to smooth, swift stops without a hint of skidding or lockup.

Any negatives? A bit of wind noise at around 70 mph and some rumbling from that big, powerful engine during acceleration. Otherwise, we think the Chrysler LHS will give competitors a new set of performance standards to match.
