I had this sedan for an extended test last month. Build quality was very good with no sign of any rattles or squeaks.
The 2 litre Blue motion technology TDI works very well and does save fuel in city, suburban style travelling.
Over 25% of my time in Adelaide was spent stopped in traffic which amounted to about 28 minutes (stopped). The trip both ways to and from home was about 50% city/open road travelling.
Overall I averaged 4.7l/100 km over 400km round trip. Speeds varied from crawling/stopped in the city, to 110km/h on the open road.
All in all a great car and I will be buying one as soon as I am able.
