Do a search, there's lots of comments on here. IMO it's great to drive, lots of torque available in any gear, you don't miss the fact it's not turbo'd. Servicing's no worse than any other Stilo, the only awkward bit is tight access to the oil filter.

Opinions on oil use vary. Mine's been fine, but others say it does use a bit and needs regular checking (which you should do anyway). There's some general info on the engine here:
