For Like every diesel 6, this model has better residuals than the petrol cars. We prefer this engine to the less powerful diesel, as it has more overtaking punch. TS2 comes with some real luxuries, such as automatic wipers, larger alloys, a CD-changer and an integrated Bluetooth system.

Against Price is the biggest problem: this engine costs much more than the equivalent petrol car, while it's also more than the 123bhp engine. There’s quite a premium for TS2 trim over TS.
