Post by: Dazzler on September 03, 2013, 13:15:44: Thanks again Rusty .. They all reckon it is a pretty good thing.

Pity it's not a 2 ltr Turbo Diesel (would have been on MY next car list) :mrgreen:

Every review so far has been very impressed with the suspension setup including the comparison in this thread...

Post by: Dazzler on December 07, 2013, 08:08:11: That is a nice find thanks Rusty. A bit more comprehensive than a lot on the web these days.. Difinitely on my shortlist for Trish if the 1.6 GD tourer isn't spirited enough for her... :victory:
