Has anybody taken delivery of a cr 2.0tdi yet? I was thinking of taking the plunge before the vat offer ends. Cheers.

Apart from the diesel vRS that has been a 2.0cr for over a year?

I would imagine the 140cr diesels will be filtering through soon, if not already

Yep, got mine on the 18th.

Unfortunately I went into hospital last week for a long-awaited operation and haven't been able to drive it since...

First impressions are good, with some reservations...

Good:

More linear power delivery than the PD versions I've tried

Easier to pull away rapidly without wheelspin than the PD

Seems more flexible from 1500 to 2000 rpm

Reasonable economy (massive drop whilst it cleaned the DPF though - best guess at reason)

Wonderfully quiet

Bad:

Definitely not got the same manic power delivery as the PD

Seems slightly less fluid on the road - maybe slight difference in engine weight...?

Easier to stall if left too low in 2nd - hell of a bang when you do stall it!

Engine note is so quiet it can be hard to hear! Never thought I'd say that...
