Hi Paul. I have this model and was an "early adopter" - had mine a year now. Put simply - it'a very easy car to drive, in terms of controls. I always toggle off Lane Keep Assist, Speeding Alert and Driver Monitoring system and enjoy my driving more, as a consequence. The car is incredibly comfortable. In my business life I owned BMW/Merc/Jag/Lexus/Audi - this car's driver and passengers comfort is a match for all of those! The cabin space is superb - no cramped rear passengers. A nice feature is the ability to recline rear backrest a little. I could actually go on and on about the features I love in this car - but I won't.
On the road - I drive mine in "Normal" mode usually (I find "ECO" a little restrained) and I get +/- 30 MPG (50% Country Roads/50% A/M Roads). The car is sprightly enough in all conditions - accelerates keenly and the AWD keeps it well planted on the road. I really like the DTC Transmission. Gear changes are almost imperceptible under normal driving styles - I'm not so keen on the Manual changing and don't use it (why buy an auto then change gears manually? The throttle does a great job on gear selection).
I'll stop there - suffice to say - I'm extremely happy with my car. Oh - and it's a joy watching all the Auto Experts who I observed lambasting the car when it launched and seeing those very same folks now saying the opposite! ;-)
