For a "Boat, Ferry, Lorry, Truck" or whatever else the "old skool'ers" called em ... its pretty nippy. 105bhp isnt alot, but it surely surprised Mr "look-at-my-exhaust" Nova boy.
It is very very smooth and refined, has a first rate gearbox that has little movement, the car is very spacious. The diesel engine CANNOT be heard "inside" the car, and is relatively quiet outside... It has the usual equipment found on modern cars... ABS, Air Con, EBD, Alloys ... recommended for "commuters" ... gets around 60mpg driving at 55mph... ... tho I do know the 130 PD150 can get 55mpg doing 80mph on the motorway ... so I think 60mpg is cos its only got 1500miles on the clock... and I didnt drive it far enough.
Rating?
