While the styling is controversial, I love it and would definitely recommend it especially if you have to haul things or drive multiple people around. Just be prepared to have to make some sacrifices for the increase of space through a much heavier and less agile car. I have yet to drive a V but its weight can definitely be felt and its steering isn't as telepathic as the M3's, nor is it as tossable. But that thing is a HP monster.
