Thanks to everybody for the additional updates and the pictures. Could drive the car last Saturday. Overall positive from my side, less from my wife's who complained about the ride (18 inc. run flat, vs Citroen C4 on 16 inc. ... not really the same category but for kids and family, comfort can be more important than driver's pleasure). I don't know if going to standard instead of run flats change a lot. She also complained about the lack of "body control" (don't know how to express it correctly in English) of the seats (standard ones), looks like it will be necessary to select advanced (we tried them in a Mini, she felt better inside). I think I read several persons on this forum sharing the same point of view.
Main remaining concern besides this is the transmission : could not test the manual gearbox, but plan to go for it (too much to add for the auto). Is there any manual transmission user able to provide pros and cons ?
