Been driving it for 3 months now. 6.7 l/100 km efficiency is surprisingly good for this class. Interior quality is premium for this class. Worth every single penny spent.

Just picked mine up last week! 6.7 l/100 km economy is better than I expected. Suspension handles bumps and rough roads very smoothly. If you're undecided, just go for it.
