I would recommend purchasing one of these vechicles either new or second hand. Having purchased mine which was 1 year old I have nothing but praise for them. Not a single fault yet. Excellent fuel economy with performance if required. Effortless driving with a smooth comfortable drive. The insurance group is 12 which is o.k. for a prestige motor. Servicing is a MUST preferably at a main dealer as this keeps the residual value higher which is another plus for these cars. I choose an estate for the extra room and was quite surprised as to how much space is abvailable with the seats down. Try to go for a model with all the extras already fitted,especially a used model. Main servicing is not cheap but only required at 12,000 miles intervals. (Spare parts can be found on web sites at reasonable prices,compared with main dealer).
If you require any information on this model please contact me and I will be happy to oblige if I can. I am not going to list all the extras already fitted to the car. But it is well specified.

add a bit more detail and develop your paragraphs a bit more... maybe add pricing... and you could get some great ratings... welcome to ciao... and take care... 'peaches n beans'

I think you could make this more readable by organising it into proper paragraphs, at the moment it is quite difficult to read due to the layout. Also expanding on some of the points would also contribute to a higher rating, for example you mention that you get good milage, could you be more specific about that. Some indication of the serviceing cost would also be nice. Chelle

Sorry for the FH. Some good points, but i think if you explored these points in more detail, it would be alot more helpful. Tia. x
Advantages: Diesel the most fuel efficient, best torque of the range, same motor as BMW 320d - so a QUIET diesel Disadvantages: Diesel may appear more expensive at the pump in the UK, dealer support is shoddy, maintenance costs high, still a british car with the usual quirks
