Just watched the segment don't waste your time. It's a snooze fest the whole way.

Watched it this morning, not his best review to say the least. I really like that car though, kind of weird to say this but it sounds pretty good for a diesel. Would make a great DD with that gas mileage.

Love Chris Harris, but this was not the best effort. Beautiful scenery where he went though.

I think he confirmed my suspicion which is that this diesel, great though it is, still lacks the sharpness of a petrol engine. The initial throttle response is just a little soft. That would annoy the hell out of me.
