I bought this car brand new in 2009 with the top option package. Loved the understated styling, and high quality feel that abounds in this car. The materials used inside are probably the best part of the car for me. The layout is pleasing to the eye, but still practical. Doors shut and windows open/close with that satisfying German feeling. Gas mileage has been great, power is a bit lacking, no issues besides regular scheduled servicing. IMO this car can't be beat for value if you are looking for a vehicle that feels like solid, and well engineered.
