 Overall our W8 is awesome.  It rides and handles as if it is on rails.  The scary part is that the faster you go, the car doesn't get louder.  Our family feels very safe and secure in the W8.  It is still under warranty - nothing major yet has gone wrong, but a few annoying little things.  The worst "feature" is that the hatch requires a separate action to open, even if all of the doors are unlocked.
