2.0 TDI Sport
Owned for nearly 2 years now with 59000 on the clock, great car up untill last week when it went for a service and i was told that the Turbo needed replacing (£1000) the shocks needed replacing and just as i was about to pick it up today i had a phone call saying there were problems with the gearbox! neverending, luckily i am within the warranty by 100 miles! lucky! aside from that, very good car, especially the sport model as i had the 1.9tdi se model before and was very dissapointed with what i had purchased which is why i upgraded to the 2.0 sport, the ride is great and not as sickly as the SE suspension set-up. interior is a bit bland and boring and tyres arnt very grippy compared to what i had expected. reliability again only recently a bit dissapointing, customer service not bad but could be better, salesman at the wantage branch was very miserable! which makes you want to go elsewhere which is what i am going to do, BMW 3 series next!

Summary: Fairly average
