I'm still a young pup at 750 miles, but I usually keep my cars a decade or more and roll them over 200K. :happy:
Some of my impressions are a little counter to the OP. I liked the meatier feel of modern hydraulic steering assist in my prior cars. But the ESP is not "bad", just more isolating feeling, like the 1970s lead sleds I used to drive in college.
The diesel exhaust note is definitely an acquired taste. But I tell myself it gives the car a whimsical quality, kind of like driving those old air-cooled VW bugs or Corvairs.
I can always nitpick (I did with my prior car too) but I have no buyer's remorse. It does everything it's intended to do quite well.
