I recently put 350 miles on on of those and while it's a decent appliance, it is nothing to get excited about. The steering is fair, but has little road feel. Ride is good enough, but I only did highway, except for a little bit of two lane on one end of the trip. Seats were ok, but no comparison to the Saab chairs I'm used to. After 4 hours I found myself trying to find a better position, seat angle, etc. The pneumatic lumbar adjustment was nice, but wasn't quite in the right place.
The bluetooth connected to my iPhone very nicely and the phone worked well for calls. But the car was really nothing exceptional. And at 6'2" I found getting in and out annoying--easy to bump my head. My 9K is low, but I have never come close to whacking my head on the A pillar or roof edge.
My most recent comparison to the 200 is a Ford Fusion. That was much better, over a similar distance, and it had a turbo. Felt more connected to the road, too.
