Great fun car to drive, lots of extra's and pretty good fuel economy

I have had this car a month now and can honestly say its put a smile back on my face in terms of driving. As with most diesels the pick up in first can be a bit sluggish but once it gets going the acceleration is fantastic. Through the gears it pulls really well and overtaking is a breeze. The overall package of power with the extra's for the price is what pulled me to this model and it was definately the right choice. The Bose stereo is superb and my kids love the bluetooth music setup from their phones. Add in all of the electrics with the heated leather memory seats, built in StaNav etc.. and its an all round great car. I am a little heavy footed and I am still getting 47mpg which I think is ok considering! All in all I would recommend.
