I was on the look out far a diesel car to replace my old BA and reduce fuel costs a bit, thinking I might get a BJ diesel. Trawling through Autotrader these little diesels kept popping up. Hadn't really given a lot of thought to these little things or the pug 206 and Fiesta diesels. When it dawned on me that these would do 65 mpg and they were only £30 a year road tax the hunt was on :) Tried a few and came across this little baby :D It's a 2004 1.5 DCi 100 Dymanique and what a great little car it is! Loads of low down grunt and good handling. I've had it 2 weeks and I've got 58 mpg even though I've been trying out the performance :) Happy with this epic little motor :D

Yeah they're not a bad little car

Keep on top of servicing and timing belts and it should serve you well :)

Keep an eye on the sunroof, they're notorious for leaking into the car!

I think a lot of people are going for these type of cars now, £30 a year tax compared to £230 odd for your 1.8 or v6s. I've got myself a fiat stilo, £144 a year tax, and 53mpg.. it just means I can go out for a spin and not worry about getting 25mpg from the V6 which is sitting on a sorn... sad but true!
