Well so far I'm loving Marco, for me the driving position is spot on ride is quite firm but not really uncomfortable. Handling is good enough for my driving (I'm never going to be pushing it to it's limits - too much of a wuss lol).
Haven't experienced any of the brake squeal or condensation issues that others have mentioned, although in the last couple of days an annoying rattle has developed from the dash around the passenger side so I'll be getting that looked at under warranty.
Average long term MPG is at 35.1, getting between 37 & 40 my 13 mile commute to work, usually means I'm stuck behind something although once there's a gap in oncoming traffic getting past them isn't usally an issue.

What a step up from my 6N2

Text give you 5a, left factory
