A very soft, silky ride. on the freeway, or even on uneven terrain, the car feels solid, and plush.
for a turbocharged 4 banger, acceleration and torque really feel punchy and solid. I am unhappy with the lag that I get from getting moving at a dead stop, but the power I need to overtake on the freeway feels endless, and smooth.
for as much weight and features that this car carries, the gas mileage seems very liveable granted you drive it with a light touch.
Like many german cars, the control design is incredible. Nice brushed aluminum throughout, and the nav computer and gauges are all well laid out and easy to operate.
My friend put it best when she shut the door on the way out of my car. It just feels solid! solid throught, the interior and the exterior feel absolutely made of the finest materials all mated together. No rattles, no squeaks.
