Saloon 2.0D 180ps Portfolio Auto 4dr Saloon

Best Car and most economical I've owned (out of 30)

Excellent comfort and economy (overall 48mpg over 22000 miles). Passengers all comment on the smooth ride. Nice to drive (although I always just leave it in ECO mode). I like the light coloured trim and seats which make the car feel airy.
Small niggles are:
Difficult access in the front (daft shaped air vents recessed into doors are easy to catch with your knees). Rear access and space is poor for a car of this size.
Although rear seats fold, there's a big shelf that doesn't and this restricts loads.
I too needed all new discs and pads because of scoring. This was under warranty, so owners should all get this done before the warranty runs out, as it's a manufacturing defect.
My stop-start has failed, but I'll get that fixed when it suits me.
Now selling at several thousands less than I paid!
