Well done. You have to realise that people are fiercely protective of their cars and will certainly push forward the one they have, as no one can bear to think that they might not have bought the right thing or that something might be better or better performing, in various ways, of what they have. To hear some people speak, a 2.2 Diesel 5 door is the fastest thing on earth, the most economical, the best depreciating, and all on all better than anything on the road!! That's all very well, and their opinon, but you did the right thing in test driving it first and obviously found that despite the small engine, it's a big car, with a nice interior, and is an executive saloon which will seat 5 adults easily.

In the year or so since I've had mine, I can honestly say that I've found it very comfortable, very economical, as quick as I need a car to be, and very good for running costs. It's just had it's first service at 12,500 miles and it cost £131.99. Had to tax it for a year mind you so that gave me a fiver change from my twenty quid note... All in all, you get executive looks, style and comfort, for supermini running costs. In fact my parents have just bought a new Nissan Micra, which is a great car, but the running costs are more than the Hybrid.
