When testing it myself in September, I was so "busy" driving and enjoying the handling, grip and driveability tatt I did not notice the caracter of the typical diesel vibrations.
How do you find this aspect in your own car?

I don"t have vibrations, not even at 1000 rpm. It is a diesel engine but when its warmed up, you can hardly hear it. I can take a turn in tirth gear, leaving the corner at 1000 rpm and it pulls straith away. Not bad for a 4-cil engine. From 1300 rpm to 4000 rpm it puls very strong. Daily driving is possible between 1000 rpm and 1500 rpm. When you are between 2500 and 3500 revs then it goes like a rocket... So far very pleased with the car. Day to day driving in traffic results in 6l/100km. You will have to search very hard to find a car with this kind of performance and econmics combined. Maybe i should have gone for the sports auto... only regret so far, but the manual works very fine.
