6k miles on an estoril blue/saddle brown 6-speed 340ix. Cold weather, driver assistance, M sport with adaptive suspension, rear shades, non-Nav.
Ditched run-flats for staggered 19" 403M/MPSS summer and square 18" 400M/Blizzak WS80 winter set up.
Positives: Standing out are the engine, 6-speed transmission with rev-matching, handling and driver dynamic modes. Just returned from a 3k road trip and fell in love with the seats. Also like the iDrive (I hate touch screen car entertainment systems with a vengeance). And it looks great inside and out!
Negatives: coming from a long line of hatchbacks it will take some getting used to the trunk space, not improved by the donut spare in it. The steering is ok, but I prefer that of my 2007 GTI.
