After 1 month and about 900miles with the Multijet [95] I thought I'd share some 'Marmite' observations seeing as I'm the only vocal diesel owner around at the moment!

"Loves"
- The turbo kick and power band for 3rd & 4th
- Cruising at 2200 in 6th at 70mph
- Discovered my Navman sticks nicely on the compartment lid next to the proper satnav dock. And it hasnt broken yet!
- 60mpg on a long run to the in-laws
- Lazy driving in auto, full gear control in semi-auto

"Hates"
- Wish the engine was quieter around town
- Sluggish below 1600rpm
- The wing mirrors dont manually fold in?!?!
- The driver-side wing mirror generates far more wind noise than the passenger side!
- The glovebox is about half the size of the one in my old clio mk1
- The radiator and intercooler are far too exposed on the elegenza grille. Got lots of stone dents already.

Any other Multijet drivers out there??

I'm not a multijet owner but...

I drive back from work at midnight each day up the A24 from Worthing, and a month after getting mine I hit a fox. Not only did it crack my bumper and smash the grill but somehow it's head managed to poke through the grill and dent my intercooler !

Then exactly a month after getting it back from repair I hit a rabbit (it hopped up and bounced - I mean this rabbit was TINY) , and that cracked the indicator glass and also broke the headlight mounting points. That in turn damaged the paint on the bumper so I needed yet another new bumper.... :bang:

I feel as if the front section is made of tissue paper it's so flimsy. Now I'm scared to drive home any faster than 30 mph lol.

Anyway I would think that words probably got round the local wildlife to stay out of your way by now!
