Hi,
Picked up my 2.0TDI SE last Thursday and decided to go for a quick jaunt up to the Lake District yesterday. I was pleased with the ride and quietness on the motorway. Cruise control was fine as well (not too much traffic that far North). My trip was about 300 miles and the trip computer was claiming 47mpg.
Overall I am very pleased with my car which is standard spec with the addition of B&O sound and cruise control. I have two areas where I am a little disappointed - the seats and clutch. The seats for me are uncomfortable and have insufficient adjustment - just height, backrest angle and for and aft. There is no lumber or seat squab angle adjustment. I wish now that I had ordered the sports seats which I believe are more adjustable. The clutch is too near the clutch foot rest. If you are wearing wide shoes or boots you can catch your foot on the clutch pedal when you are trying to place it on the footrest. If I was doing a lot of in-town driving I can see this being very tiresome.
