Perhaps that’s something you get used to with ownership, but feels very different to a 3/4. Super refined and comfortable though dynamically it drives like a very big car.

Yes, it is too large for me--especially on European roads. The G31 already takes up the whole lane.
The new car also has a compromised COG, as it is using a tallish platform designed to accomodate a full EV.
I don't put much stock in C&D anyways. They have gone downhill over the past 8-10 years. The UK mags tend to do much better when evaluating the drive.
