How is it in the flesh, from those who’ve seen it?

It's a lot better in the flesh than in the photo's that I had seen but I had similar concerns about finger prints, the size of the wheel arch gap and the steering wheel didn't seem as bad when you were there with it strangely!
The car looked a lot lower bonnet and boot-wise and more sporty (apart from the silly wheel arch gaps) and the build quality was superb, better than I had hoped. The size of the boot felt more like back to D3 depths again (possibly even taller height wise but with a slightly narrower dimension between the wheel arches) and room inside didnt feel any smaller than a D3 LWB in the front or rear.
Overall I was optimistic, but would want to drive one for a weekend as a fuller test really as I have tried to do in the past
