What are they like to drive? Need a diesel really for work, i do alot of motorway miles so i was looking into them, but didn't know if they would be to thirsty as they 2.5

Had a 2.5 petrol a while ago and i loved driving that, big comfy cars

Pete,

they're great cars to drive! Its a bit sluggish in terms of top end pull, but low down its fine..

I reckon if you drove sensibly you could get over 35mpg on a run.
