I had the use of a D5 in my previous life in plod, they just kept on running. I never thought I'd own one. My MY2016 has the manual gearbox which I wanted, I've recently paid for the Polestar optimisation, so a slight increase from 220 to 230. It always gives 37mpg. It pulls like a steam train and it will produce one hell of a sound when required to. In all honesty, two years into ownership it has been the best car I've ever owned. I don't look at the current models, the dealership recently tried to get me in for a 'special offer'. I told them where to go, my car is not for sale. The engine in mine is a beauty and its matched to a manual gearbox. It is a dream.
