I was really impressed by the 6 speed automatic - the gear changes are extremely smooth and fast. The car induce yourself to drive balanced.
It isn't a car you drive with 200km/h over the autobahn - at that speed the whole car becomes restively (the car we drove had no sport suspension). The engine isn't elastic at high speed as well.
The interior has (except for the plastic around the navigation module) very good build quality. The seats are very comfortable and have endless opportunities to adjust. The rearseats are also comfortable enough (heated rearseats are standard now) - my dad could seat really relaxed (he stand 1,96 m tall).
Overall it's a great car and I really enjoyed to drive it.
