A luxury full-size sedan focuses on comfort, easy drive-ability, and smooth and steady ride. In its last year, the 2005 Park Avenue base offers all this to satisfied owners. The roomy sedan seats up to six passengers and has 19 cubic feet of trunk space, ensuring comfortable long car trips. It carries a 205-hp, 3.8-liter V6 and 4-speed automatic on 16-inch alloy wheels. Four-star crash ratings are earned by dual front-side airbags, 4-wheel ABS, and a self-leveling suspension. For a little extra, you can add traction and stability control, a tire monitor, rear parking assist, auto-dimming mirrors, mirror turn signals, and rain-sensing wipers.
The 2005 Park Avenue Base is well equipped, with full power features, including power front seats, leather upholstery and steering wheel trim, wheel-mounted audio controls, cruise control, and dual-climate control. On the outside, the Base gets the six vent ports (three on each side of the fenders) already on the Ultra. An optional heads-up display keeps your eyes on the road, and you can also add a sunroof, CD player, heated seats and mirrors, memory settings, OnStar, and a garage opener. Drivers like the luxury, quiet ride, smooth handling, and spaciousness of the 2005 Park Avenue base, but feel the styling looks a bit outdated.
