Roomy, fast, very comfortable, build quality a few more orders of magnitute better than my old 9-3 Viggen.
Electronic controlled suspension can be fussy in some cars but mine has been flawless so far. "Sport" setting is the best compromise between the harsh "Advanced" and the slightly floaty (but good for pure highway cruising) "comfort" setting.
Steering is kind of vague and without much feel, especially at slow speeds -- that has to be my biggest disappointment about the car.
It';s a pig to park, though -- HUGE turning circle, especially for me coming off a Saab 9-3 and Saab C900, each of which were a cinch to park. Get your 3-point-turn skills out!
Car is big and feels big (but again I'm coming off smaller cars), but it hauls butt (and lots of equipment) and looks great.
