Summary
What does this car say about you?
To the uninformed - you've bought a pretty bland car. To the informed - you've bought one of the best Q cars.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Most haven't a clue what it is or what it can do, it doesn't make much of a visual impression.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, need more room and doing more traveling so a diesel is required. If I had bought the Tourer version I doubt I'd be changing it.
What are you likely to buy next?
Want to keep 4 wheel drive so probably some sort of SUV.

Good, rapid acceleration, agile through the corners, subtle exhaust note but enough to let you know this ain't no ordinary engine.

a breeze

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nope
What's most practical about your car?
AWD - a super-practical aspect of the car, deals with poor weather conditions superbly well.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
A few....heated seats; LCD touch screen panel; main dashboard illumination (illuminated during the day and very clear to read, dims when headlights on); spinning dial needles when turning ignition on.
