older model but we got such a good deal on it i couldn't say no

so damn happy with it..it's almost the perfect car for the money..only small critisim i have is driving in a straight line..at say 60 mph it wanders a little..could be the new winter tyres doing that

If like mine full synthetic.

Check handbook forgrade especially given the low temps you get in sweden.

I allways use fully synthetic. Make sure you use oil marked C3 suitable for DPF.

Nice looking car  :goodjob2:
