I had a chance to take a nice drive about a half hour in the automatic linear with the 17 inch wheel package, launch, and touring package. Found the car to be very well put together. Suspension is very responsive yet soft enough on rough roads. The engine is fantastic. All we have here in the US thus far is the 175 hp. version, but I am seriously wondering if the 210 hp. verison would be needed by me personally. Found the sentronic manual operation to be brilliant. The performance of the transmission makes the car very sporty. Seats and all build materials very much improved over previous models. Back seat room is not bad but not great for larger adults. I was disappointed in the 7 speaker audio system sound quality. It was crisp and the highs were great, but the bass was almost non-existant for my taste. I would have to see the 13 speaker 300-watt system if I were to purchase one. Overall it would be the top of my shopping list when the 9000 needs replacement.
