This is one amazing vehicle, I have been lucky enough to have driven one for the last 10 weeks as a courtsey car whilst mine was off the road and I have to say i was totally seduced. This car has tons of power right through the rev range and any pressure on the throttle gives a healthy surge forwards and flooring it though takes it into a different league and you would be hard pressed to belive it was a diesel if you didnt already know. When you add to this the economy that can be acheived with careful driving this becomes a serious contender but the thing that will put the biggest smile on your face is the handling its sharp and very direct goes exactly where you point it like no other front wheel drive car I have ever driven. The one I had was black with red leather seats and looked sensational, if I had not driven one i would never had considered it but now I am hooked.
An underated monster! With a simple to fit chip this car is awsome! Gadget and electronic crap free an absolute joy to drive! 40mpg And contrary to popular belief they dont fall apart.I have had experience of a fleet of 5 of these cars and not one has developed a major problem in 7 years. I LUV UM!!!

Nowww to the security part...I ...

...I opted out of my company car scheme last year. Consequently, I spent a very long time trawling the market, looking to replace the company car that was about to be returned (A MB C-Class Estate).
My life style was still the same so was looking for a car I could do 'cruising' higher mileages in for work whilst providing me lots of luggage space for 'activity' holidays few times a year.
I looked at the following (in alpha order):
Alfa Romeo1562.4JTD Sportwagon
Audi A4 1.8TDi Estate
BMW 318 1.8i SE Touring
MB C220 Classic Estate
MG ZT-T+
Saab 9-3 2.0i Estate
Volvo V70 2.4 SE Estate (ex-demonstrator)
All of these cars are very competant. My main buying criteria were Drive, Equipment/Options, and Cost of ownership over 3 years - with a max £24k budget. As I was going to be taking out a personal loan (repaid by my car...
