Pros: + High quality interior + Brilliant climate control, no need to keep adjusting temperature like in my previous 3 years old BMW5 + Comfortable seats + Brilliant steering wheel (thick, soft, super comfortable) + Large and practical boot (large pocket, flexible partitioning) + Practical interior (pockets, auto-lifting boot cover!!!) + Super smooth auto transmission + Easy to use and follow Navigation Cans: - A bit longer, sure, but that's the price for practicality -/+ 40-45 mpg (could be better, but good enough)
