I drove a 2.0l diesel saloon on my one and only test drive. It was typically 'diesel like' in its performance, tons of turbo lag below 1600rpm compared to my present car. The front end felt heavy and less 'pointy' than my own car, but that might have been due to electrically assisted steering setup. Plus the diesel noise could be heard from within the car. I'm looking forward to the 1.4, on paper it only has 8ps less than my present car, in a normal state of tune, but 10Nm more in torque....
That sounds good! I just think that the 1.4 COD might be underpowered compared to the 2.0 tdi. Argh! Tough decisions!!!!!
