Its amazing mate, its a great car.

I have established its very near as fast as a 323 and returns double the MPG.

The torque is outstanding, its quiet to be inside...I must admit, first thing on a winter morning, sounds a bit tankish..

Outstanding engine mate, its transfered me to the oil burning side, Im never going back to petrol (535d next)

150bhp, 247 toques in a 2ld....amazing in my opinion.

You will love it mate.
