I am very much looking forward to the car as it seems like a perfect balance between efficiency and power. My wife and I share our car (I work from home so driving is heavily tipped toward the leisure scale) and she prefers economical driving and votes a Smart Car as the best choice. I prefer a much more sporty driving style and this car can really wear both hats well.
Where I hope it performs well is on longer road trips. We do 1K mile RT road trips to see family fairly frequently and during those electric charge may deplete and I'm hoping the car will still feel good to drive in those scenarios. My understanding is eBoost is always there so it shouldn't feel slow ever.
The only option I didn't add that would have been a nice to have is probably Night Vision, but I am not entirely sure how much I'd use it even if I did get it honestly. More of a "cool" feature I guess. The Adaptive LED headlights should be more than enough.
My guesstimate is we'll have the car around 10/5 or 10/12.

I have a family get together over Thanksgiving and will be driving just over 300 miles to get there. I expect that the drive will be uneventful but I will let you know. It will be my first long drive.
