What the editors think...

A- Excellent fit and finish. Interior appointments drew oohs and ahs from approving neighbors. Surprisingly roomy. Exterior has European flair. Handling responsive by US standards. Drawbacks: Small engine has sluggish pickup: automatic transmission downshifts with annoying frequency. John Dillin, Managing editor/news

A- Excellent handling, holds road well. Very comfortable ride. Superb AM-FM radio system. Engine peppy in city, adequate on highway with auto transmission. Two drawbacks: Automatic transmission surges and falls back annoyingly; in rear seat 6-footer's head rests on sloping back window. Robert Hey, Managing editor/features

B- Otherwise comfortable driving experience marred by mushy combination of overpowered steering and click-in, click-out automatic transmission in model tested. Seats good front and rear. Rear legroom fair. Headroom fine. Clean appealing exterior design. Cushy but pleasant interior; well finished. Earl Foell, Editor

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
