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??
