Great looks, it is good to see that the French are still the only car makers that don’t copy anyone elses styling. Maybe to the Golf GT TDI is better in certain areas. I’ve drove a GT TDI dsg, probably the best auto box going around. Shithouse on hill starts, I prefer manual shift. Its unfortunate that diesel costs around 30 cents more a litre in Major cities. I live about 1600kms north of Perth, diesel is only 15 cents more a litre, no 98 octane available up here. A VW TDI or Renault DCI would be more suitable, with a touring range around 1000kms.
PS to all VW lovers, dont bag out the Renaults until you’ve driven one.

I think the car looks great, but… the way diesel prices are at the moment it make you think… this morning when filling up with ULP @143.9 I noticed that Diesel was still 185.9 at this particular servo. A whopping 42c per litre more! And further investigations around other suburbs revealed a similar result. If this price gap (30%) continues there may be little reason to buy a diesel in this size car.

Thats a lot of dosh for an average car. Not been rated too well in Pommieland due to it not being really much fifferent to the standard car. At least the petrol version is more powerful than standard models.
Still its easy on the eye. Love the French style.

This car has some good features, but looks isn’t one of them. It’s Butt Ugly, in fact :)

But it’s up against the Golf GT TDI which is a bit dearer when you put leather and xenons in it, but still the better choice.
