Excellent MPG. Around 600 miles per tank full of fuel.

On the road
Driving
Superb chassis, handles well - after all the Jag x-type shares it.
Performance
My first diesel. The 130ps TDCi goes like stink. Great mid range torque. Have driven the 115ps and you can tell the difference. Wouldn't have a petrol again.

Living with it
Reliability
No timing belts to worry about on these. Chain driven. Not let me down as yet.
Image
Not the sportiest looking car, but with the Zetec alloys looks nice.
Comfort
Pleasant to drive. Effortless on motorways. It just munches the miles.

Security
No problems. Alarm and deadlocks as standard.
