Stilo JTD...
They're great, go and buy one, then laugh at Golf TDI drivers (like my mate) who spend twice as much to get what is really a similar car.
As far as a comparison to other Stilo's go, well, apart from the 1.2 which is obviously the best car in the world (according to Stiloboy), the JTD is the pick of the range IMO.
Why? Well as for performance, its apparently on a par with the 1.8, BUT with much, much better economy, and as has been pointed out a remap see's the performance enter Abarth territory.
Oh, its insurance group 5, while the 1.8 and Abarth and 7 & 14 respectively.
Yeah, it is a little rattly when cold, and at idle, but on the move its is smooth, and the low down torque makes it an effortless drive.
The Dynamic trim provides all the kit you need, although the Abarth 'toys' would be nice.
One way in which is disappoints is that the Stilo ads gave the false impression that they all come fully loaded, everyone always seems disappointed when they get in my car as they expect SatNav, radar cruise, skyroof etc. Oh well, still its a little more plush than the j Reg fiesta I had previously
