This is a massive step up from a Forester,but I had an even bigger upgrade...from a 2000 Holden Astra Olympic edition sedan to a 2007 Jetta 2.o FSI.
Still pinch myself every day when driving it.
Mine is Reflex Silver.

How could you give up that fine Sydney Olympics badge?

well we've had the car over the weekend now.. thought i would add my thoughts so far...

love it... drives really well.. not as harsh a ride as i thought it would be with the 18" wheels.. so really impressed by the handling..
really comfortable and gives you a luxury sedan feel (cloth seats not leather)
baby seat fits in well with plenty of room for front passenger.

most annoying thing on it???
has to be the indicators for changing lanes... it only flashes 3 times (polo does the same) which is not enough time for a steady lane change... needs to be about 5 or 6 flashes.

auto wipers seem to work well so far.. on the trip home we passed through a really light shower.. wipers came on when the window had enough of a build up of water to start impeding your view. so will see how they go during intermittent rain and fine weather.
Haven't played around with the MFD stuff yet so dont know what stuff is available to set up.
