And I think I like turbo diesels.
While the seating position was too high, and the mirror obstructive, and
the washer jets totally failed front and rear (yes checked fluid and
jets and fuse), generally the car was excellent. Love the low end torque
and the turbo woosh, after getting back in the IS it felt like I was in
a gutless slug until I got used to revving again. But the seating
position was much better in the IS, and generally felt ligher.

Turbo diesel in a low seating rwd car would be spot on. Might be looking
for an IS250D when can't change time comes around in a year or two.

On the plus side, apart from having to get them to polish out the fog
light scratching which they neglected to do (and it was on the job
sheet), they have done an excellent job. Colour match is excellent,
which is difficult with a metallic, especially one with glitter/mica
chips in. Checked it in daylight just to be sure.

And they gave it a proper wash polish and valet. Never seen the wheels
so clean despite what I do them when I clean it. Now keeping some
nicotine lozenges in the car because it smells too nice to smoke in.

It pains me to say it, but I get your point.
Seeing as my daily commute consists of dawdling up the M73 at 60mph with
some 40mph limits filled with traffic at either end, it kind of suits me.
Hence, the Golf is for the off and has been replaced by something with a
2.0HDI engine which I think I like very much.
