    You could be the non-combative, New Zealand equivalent of Jeremy Clarkson

    How would your non UK readers feel if you started adding bhp and English mpg figures for your Briskoda readers Rob?

    Still need to do photos and it's bucketing down.

    I am guessing its the new 2.0 diesel and the 9 speed autoboxgearageshifter

    Yep 1950cc, 143kW, 400Nm. Easy to make the traction control light flash with all that torque. Haven't noticed it use above 7th gear with our 100kph speed limit.

    The E350D has a V6 with 190kW and 620Nm :o
