After waiting since February for my 1st order and March since my 2nd one, my 225xe (Sport in black) has finally arrived. It landed at work at 08:30 this morning and after a 30 - 40 minute hand over with the delivery driver, I just had to give it a short run out. First impressions are:
Quick (really quick compared to current 508 'Pug')
Engine and motor a really responsive
Handling is so much better than the 'Pug'
Sports seats are supportive and very comfortable
Cabin is light and airy with good all-round vision (not noticed the 'A-Pillar Blind Spot' yet!)
A cinch to maneuver and park
iDrive looks complicated (I will have to sit with my two boys and get them to show me how to use it!)

Good news, guess you will be squeezing a few miles in at the weekend then!
Took the kids to Grandma's & Granddad's last night with the missus. Plenty of room for the boys in the back, although the eldest complained about sliding about a bit - that could be dad's enthusiastic driving though!
Loving the performance. Two drives into work (17 miles each way) have given me 88 & 90 mpg respectively. I managed a full charge last night (27 mile in the battery) have got 14 left. On the way in this morning got stuck in some traffic behind an articulated tanker - stick to the left, foot down and off! Absolutely effortless over taking around the vehicles and safely back in!
