On the road

Smooth, handles good, can wallow a bit, through corners, long overhangs.

Wont go above 115mph, very slow pick up, DO NOT go for 2.9 if you want power.

Reliability
Not as bad as the older ones,electric dash warning computer erratic, oh yeah careful if driving through puddles!
Image
Understated, get respect from road users, put some big rims on and it looks better!
Comfort
Excellent, glides over roads, laughs at long trips, comfortable, feels solid.
