good in parts
28000 miles since new. This car is great for motorway high mileage driving, although the economy, like many diesel cars is nothing like manufacturers data, 42.1 mpg over 28 k. Seats are brilliant, paintwork good. However if your driving is mainly urban then you will suffer from the poor engine, terrible turbo lag, changing gear every 200 metres and noise a hybrid of jack hammer and a spin drier. Servicing is polite but very expensive.
