Yeah I drove a friends I loved the looks and interior (although the seats aren't as good as the M multifunction ones) everything is very refined and you can see the attention to detail I was quite excited, until I turned the wheel into the first corner as there is just nothing to feel.

Just made me numb. Ultimate family wagon at speed? Not sure. I'd never want to have my kids in back at those kind of speeds that it's capable of (and only then do you appreciate its ability). Came away with upmost respect but a no for us.
