A quick review of a good auto.
Drove to Charlotte from DC to the Masters Olympia. A friend of ours has a leased 740iL for his business, and half way to NC, let me drive.
I was doing 90 on the interstate, and it didn't even feel like the car was doing 60. Very smooooov. An interior that did everything except serve up cocktails. A voice recognition system that worked fairly well. The leather felt great (I drove shirtless), and the seats adjusted 100 ways to Sunday.
Some negatives. The "gearshift" was a little too complicated to operate off the bat. It took some getting used to, which is not a good thing when you want to go in reverse, and the car then moves forward. The turn signal switch and the cruise control switch felt like they were reversed, so if you wanted to signal a turn, you were setting the cruise. If you wanted to set the cruise, you were signalling to turn left.
No matter what anybody tells you, it is NOT built for 5 people. Especially if most of the passengers are over 210lbs. I was stuck in the back seat for the ride back to DC, and I was getting travel anxiety.
Nice ride though.
