400 Miles from Holland to South West UK, love the ride, the higher driving position and good MPG. Cruise Control is a must for long journeys and SatNav makes it so easy. Only had mine for 2 months and cant get enough of it. I am a fan..

1200kms Sydney to Brisbane, with the wife and a baby onboard. I've done that drive in a few different cars over the years and this was the most comfortable.
It's quite well behaved on the highway, and the diesel is a dream for tackling hills with the cruise control on. |

900km roundtrip over a long weekend in my 23d with GF and dog. As others have said, it's very comfortable, quiet, fuel efficient and powerful. Overtaking is a breeze in mine - still pulls strong from 110km/h. Cruise control is great. I should note that I have the sports seats and 18" RFT but it was still good.

1500km and back from Durban to Cape Town. Took the Wife, 2 kids and baby, as well as mother-in-law. Also had a boot full of luggage. Trip was enjoyable, car was a breeze to drive. I have a 23d M Sport. Averaged 8.8l per 100km and had the vehicle floorboarded most of the trip. Top speed achieved was 232kph on a flat road.
