Overall reliability

Great car - excellent economy and very comfortable even over long distances on business

I was concerned dropping down to a 1.6 TDI from the 1.9 TDI but only on very odd occasions do i notice the lack of power and as most of my mileage is on motorways the long 5th gear makes very relaxed motorway driving and i seldom reach 2000 revs even on the motorway which results in at least a 70mpg average.

There is not a squeak or a rattle on the car and it is a nice soft ride.

It is no rally car but it gives an honest, pleasant and a no nonsence, drive.
