I took delivery of the car on 1.06.00, and it has now done 8750 miles.

For:

• Huge torque available across entire rev range
• Effortlessly smooth and quick
• Excellent long-distance comfort
• Minimal diesel rattle when stationary
• Engine near-silent when cruising
• Overall average 41+ mpg
• Average 50+ mpg when cruising at 70 mph (I got 60 mpg on a French autoroute at 65 mph)
• 140 mph top speed (tested on a recent trip to Germany)
• Nothing has fallen off or rattles

• Slightly noisy manual transmission
• Too easy to select reverse instead of first gear
• No floor mats available
• Corroding brake discs, especially rears
