The 90bhp HDi offers horrible acceleration. On the Top Gear site where you can describe a car in 5 words or less, someone's comment was More Power In A Fart. Do you really want to drive a 1.5-ton car with 90bhp? I did in my first car, a Xantia, and although the handling was nice the car was too damn slow! It turns every busy roundabout into a life-or-death situation. And why would you want to spend ?600 giving it the same performance as a standard 2.2?
The 110bhp is much better and easier to get hold of, but for my money the 136bhp HDi is the dog's danglies; it can match a 2.0 turbo and returns twice the mpg (supposedly). What better combination of power and cost-efficiency can you think of, except for a Seat Leon Cupra TDi.

That's a bugger with the one in Bath. Not having the best of luck lately. Never mind, as Tony Blair's favourite song goes, Things can only get better...

Supa, the next time I buy a car YOU are definately coming with me
You must have more bargaining power than Tesco's vs Dairy Farmer.
I, on the other hand am typically English when buying and tend to 'agree' on a nice little price that everyone is happy with, seller happy, me happy, everything is nice........until I find out it was a shitter
and should have noticed this, and that, and this.......
