For
In many ways, this is the best engine in the range. Running costs are low, and it's by far the smoothest and quietest of the diesel engines. Elegance trim comes with luxuries such as sat-nav and leather seats.
Against
There's one big problem with this engine – it's pricey to buy. Elegance models also look expensive next to the lesser models, which are already well-stocked.
What Car? says
4
out of 5 stars
A very pleasant car to live with, with a great engine and lots of creature comforts. Doesn't come particularly cheap, though, so make sure you're prepared to pay for the privilege.
