After me having problems with my 8, sold it swiftly and I know next owner has still problems with it.After Wanted to play safe and went for s320 cdi with really low miles, rejected it after 6 weeks - there was a smoking issue that no one could fix.
Ended up now with Insignia 2.0 diesel with 12k on the clock and at least no problems with it, I average something stupid like 50mpg. Car drives really good and I know fords are good too he he
Sensible choice only downside - a bit boring other then that good car
Will probably save me big chunk of £££ till I get something ridiculous again
