    What's it like to drive?

    Excellent response from the engine, especially in Dynamic mode. The 2.0 Diesel engine pulls great with loads of torque, even from low revs. It's quiet for an engine of this size in this claas of car. Excellent on motorways - especially with the cruise. Getting good mpg - averaging about 50 ish. Seats comfortable and driving position is nice.
