Everyone always says the Senator is the greatest Luxury Sedan made. But you always go against the grain. What about a Senator? OK stop laughing. Yes we all know the doors fall off when you open them. So what's the solution to setting the newest trend? Ever thought about a Durack? This month we take a look at the new Baron. Is this the Luxury Sedan you've been looking for? Find out!

Is the Durack Baron fast? Uh, No. But is that important? Maybe. For a Luxury Sedan the Baron is well below average. There are many other vehicles in this class that can move better and faster on the track. And because of that we don't consider it to be very good. The 75 hp @ 2169RPMs 2162 cc I4 engine is underpowered for this vehicle. Which ultimately hurts its performance. The Baron is able to reach a top speed of 88 mph and it does 28.764s 0 to 60 mph on the strip. Hooked up to our test trailer, the 147 lb-ft of torque were able to tow 22 lbs. And that leaves us with one conclusion. Durack Should have probably used a bigger, better engine for this vehicle. But as it is, it will do. On the track you can tell that the Durack Baron is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Luxury Sedan would not be able to keep up with the Baron on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face.

Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Durack Baron. The Baron has all the features you expect and more. The materials are soft, and the quality is good. Equally impressive was the comfortability of the seats. Durack did a great job.

The Durack Baron's 34 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space is plenty for the typical consumer. It is certainly better than average for this type of vehicle. While there are some areas that could be improved all in all we think the Baron is good.

The team at Durack cut a lot of corners when it came to building the Baron. It is apparent in everything from the interior to the body panels to the paints to the molding. Its not designed to last. But its not exactly the worst car on the market. You can do better.

The Durack Baron was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.

Are gas prices too high now? What will they be like 10 years from now? What about 50 years from now? Does it matter? If you drive a Durack Baron it doesn't. The Baron only uses 34.6 mpg. Which means it rarely needs refuelling and when it does, it's cheap!

The extra effort from Durack to make the Baron feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.

Some may be able to point to other Luxury Sedan and say this is better. This is prettier. This is the best Luxury Sedan. But they would be wrong. Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Behold the Durack Baron it may not be everything for everyone. But it is certainly something for someone.
