Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very easy, the auto box is very smooth. The electronically adjustable steering seems a bit of a waste of time but it hasnt caused any problems. The only two complaints are that 1) the hazard warning light button is far too small and is tucked away out of site so that you have to look down in an emergency, and 2) when its sunny you can't see most of the controls, eg speedometer, satnav, radio station etc.
What's it like to park?
Easy, the rear camera is a help. I am surprised there are no front sensors as standard though.

Living with it

No
What's most practical about your car?
The intelligent AWD is good. It tows better than my previous car (Mercedes 280E cd estate) even though the towing capacity is theoretically lower. Love all the gadgets too.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Bluetooth is a bit old hat nowbut i still like it. The sunroof is good.
