First G

Picked up my first G today. Love the car. But prior today, I had only test driven or rode with others in their rigs. So far, I can tell that it's quite different than what I am used to (small sport car/larger luxury SUV). Is there a list of things that the experience owners here can provide that would fit the category of: "I know you may not think so, but that's the way a G is supposed to feel/act/drive--nothing is wrong with it.?" The reason I am asking here is because I don't want to be "that guy" at the dealership--I guess its slightly worse than being "that guy" on the forum.

Many thanks,

2015, 83 miles. I am trying to find out if there is anything I need to do to break it in other than what's in the manual. I can smell all the seals, etc. heating up and figure that I should take it easy. Also, because this is different than what I am used to, I am trying to get any information on notable things that are part of the G experience that you would not expect in a more luxury oriented car/SUV. I already can tell that the steering is a little slow and the all wheel drive gives things a different feel.

Forgot to mention, it's a G550.
