The Roadmaster's velvet ride is a pleasure, especially when you've got a lot of miles of bumpy interstate to conquer.
But tramp on the gas pedal and the LT1 responds with will, providing a level of snappy acceleration that's amazing in a car this size.
The rap on big cars like this is that brisk acceleration is achieved at the expense of dismal fuel economy. Not true. We found the Roadmaster's EPA ratings - 17 mpg in city driving, 25 mpg on the highway - to be a trifle conservative, and our overall test came in at a combined 23 mpg.
That's better than virtually anything in the sport/utility realm, and better than several more expensive luxury cars with fancier pedigrees. Next Page
