all round pretty easy to daily drive.
can barely notice the engine when idling at traffic.
close ratio gearbox can be a little frustrating if in stop-start traffic.
stock suspension is pretty good on rough roads.
i would rate road noise as reasonably low, i had boot and rer seats out of mine recently and when it was all back in it seemed pretty quiet

its all worth it tho when u can get on some nice empty roads and open it up a bit
