On the road
Driving
Steering can feel a little artificial to me. Handles ok, but the seats in this spec dont give enough lateral support.
Performance
As much torque as a BMW 328i, meaning excellent real world perfomance. Hard to belive it's a diesel on the move.

Living with it
Image

Security
No micro chip in key. Unforgivable in this day and age.
