Don't know any owners. But on my test drive, I found it okay. The ride is soft and comfortable, but handling is decent for such a large vehicle. The engine is powerful, but initial acceleration is blunted somewhat by the electronic throttle as compared to the 2006 model. I also felt that the brakes were kind of overwhelmed by the weight of the car.

The interior is very, very comfortable... there are some cheap plastics, but the seats are great. The muscular hood bulge makes for a small windshield, though, so it can feel like you're driving a tank...

Fuel consumption? Should be better than the old one, thanks to the new electronic throttle system and five speed auto, but it's still likely to be jaw-droppingly bad.

The Expedition is available, but the names of the locally available trim levels are different from those in the US. I'm pretty sure we don't have the limited yet... nice grille, though.
