Arrived yesterday and got it aswell.. Very comfortable.
Annoyingly had another driver who started to moan about his income. I asked if he liked the new car and then his answer was: Yeah but wish my income would also improve. I only get 550 dollar every month and after rent and everything else i not get left with anything to live on blablabla.. Im sympathetic towards them but it's just so uncomfortable. Literally 25% of my trips on Dubai chauffeur drives i get this. Makes me think it's just a thing to get a extra 'sympathy' tip from the riders after you come back or go on your holiday in First class...

Never ever get those stories on chauffeur cars on arrival at destinations outside Dubai (Usually also much much nicer drivers who provide you with snacks and drinks and such).
