There's all the space of a large family sedan, and yet it doesn't feel bloated or flaccid. Or boring.
At the luxury end of the FG range, it's the best looking variant, and the turbo engine's 270kW/533Nm outputs can make mincemeat of a long highway haul.
The suspension is set-up towards the compliancy of a luxury ride, but has been tuned to also offer enough firmness for a sporty response without descending into the bone-jarring category.
A five-hour round trip over both urban and rural roads presented a convincing argument for the G6E's ability, performance and road manners.
Nothing upset or challenged it, and the highway cruising settled into a particularly pleasurable outing.
With leather upholstery, satnav and reversing camera filling out the standard equipment list, there's not much more you could ask of an Aussie car.
