Oooh, sounds pretty swish
Bet they're even worse on the petrol... Gearbox was nice in snow mode, bit more advanced technology than the auto I'm used to! Had a bit of a go on the paddles but left it in auto most of the time so I could fiddle with the myriad switches and controls :D

Does it have two reverse gears?

The interior just seemed really plasticky, acres of cheap looking grey plastic, weird carbon fibre ish stuff and some not great leather, set off not very nicely by some light blue backlighting and an over-fiddly touchscreen. Suppose that's the vogue for new cars though, they all look like demented spaceships inside! Feels more like an upmarket new Citroen rather than a true exec mobile to me.

Doesn't feel nearly as nicely made as the interior of mine, although admittedly that's from when they built decent cars, the new E Class feels about as cheap as the Jag does.
