They offer excellent value, something like this:

09 plate, loads of kit, low miles. Hummm, might need to drive one.

Think JasonM has the earlier model?  :-\

Well it's outside London, Camberley to Osterley. 25 miles each way, lots of stop start and traffic lights hence I now want an auto.

Yes but stop start and traffic lights equals a DPF that wont regen, a diesel which is not working at its optimum conditions/temperature and consequently equals trouble!

Beware of Scottish registered ones regardless of mileage/spec... almost certainly supplied by one of two taxi wholesalers... :-X

Hummmm. M3 currently 50mph average limit too, even without that would rarely go faster at rush hour.

I think i will do about 12-14k a year.

A real looker and best with a big V8 engine that runs on proper fuel. :y

What does a 2.0 Skoda derv say about the person who owns it?

It says the person who owns it has absolutely no interest in cars. :-\

It says I want to get more than 25mpg on my run to work! Which the diesel would give me, but not if DPF fails!

Corrected it for you, your driving style and commute does not match the needs of a modern diesel
