My boss has just bought one. He has the 130 version.
Quick enough, trust me! still getting an average of 47-49mpg even driving down the motorway 80mph. Well built too.
Brilliant car.

You can't buy a diesel for a sound.
But, they do pull like a train

New ones seem a bit noisey on tick over. Really nice cars though!
Cost an awful lot for what they are too. Used car market is where it's at

I love my Tdi. Only 110 but for what it is, i love it
Mine is faster than a 1.8 vectra (petrol) with a full exhaust system. [/useless fact]
so i imagine these will be quite a bit quicker

Price difference between diesel and petrol will also make you emitional. Makes me angry when you look at some bint putting 60 litres in for just over £70 and it costs me £46 to put in 35 litres.
