Quite sprightly for a diesel if you rev it hard.

Living with it
Reliability
If you can, go for a FSH car and ALWAYS check the coolant. I've had 3 heater matrices and head gaskets blow, partly caused by a blocked radiator.
Image
Not bad looker, but mine is covered in little bumps and scratches.
Comfort
Great comfort, but seats get a little itchy after a long drive. Poor for kipping in.
