Its definitely smaller interior wise, not as wide. There used to be an inch or two of rear seat room with the drivers seat all the way, this car there is none. The roof height is lower than the gen5, but even with the sunroof the headroom is about the same for me. Sound is completely different out of the exhaust, more of a bark than a rumble. I liked the M6 shifter in my 1LE better, nice and tight, this one feels rubbery in comparison, but shifts smoother than my 2013.
Haven't had the chance to really play with it yet, but the little bit I played around with it on the interstate its definitely a handler, brakes are phenomenal, and the acceleration is out of this world, and I was only running it in tour mode.
Also got good gas mileage, got 23mpg on the first tank running 75-85 in places and did several blasts up past 100mph. On the second tank I set the cruise at 77 and ran with it, got 24.5mpg on that tank, beats the 20mpg listed on the sticker as a highway rating.
