I have had a test drive in this model & have arranged to buy a Demo model from a Main Dealer. On starting the engine from cold there was a loud Whisteling noise from the engine compartment. The salesman did not think anything of it. Is this a normal state of affairs with this engine?

Whistle at idle?

Avoid.

If it's like that when new, what will it be after 20k miles.

(Toyota had that problem onsome early Yaris diesles... it just got worse. They replaced the turbos under warranty.
