Economy
Value
Good value for a big diesel compares well with most in its class picked mine up for £9500 at 2 years old, with 35000 on the clock. a brand new carr at a knock down price.
Costs
Average running costs for the size of vehicle, oil consumption seem a little high, but i think this is a common problem , I am getting 44mpg over the whole week. Not as good as a Passat, but then you get what you pay for.

Driving
Pleanty of room for 6' plus drivers like myself all controlls in easy reach. Ideal for cruseing on the motorway less settled on windy roads although grip is excellent the ride is quite harsh on uneven urban roads.
Performance
For a diesel it goes like a scalded cat 0 to 60 in about 9.5 50 to 100 is terrific only noteworthy cars seem to have the edge on this car

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far in 13000 miles only time will tell
Image
Not everyones taste, but i am happy with it looks the part with the alloys and spoiler.
Comfort
Half leather trim firm but supportive seats I have never sat in the back so i can't comment on that, pleanty of head and leg room for tall drivers, just a shame the steering wheel dosent adjust in and out. The horn push is a bother and the stereo control
