Ive had my 51 plate SDI for 6 months now, and I have to say in terms of build quality and reliability it is superb. However,the handling is poor-takes a good turn of the wheel before anything happens. Also, dont be fooled by the claims of economy. I had a TDI previously and had the same fuel economy as the SDI, the engine is too weak to lump such a big car about and hates any kind of hill. My advice is to buy a VW diesel, but with a turbo. Or a BMW diesel which give you the same performance and economy, with a far better drive and handling.
