I have a D4 190 15 plate. (my16) manual bought at 1 year old .
Car is used for 1.5 mile daily school runs, but we do give it a weekend run.
No dpf issues and have covered 14k miles in our possession . Cars now done 24k.
Did have the egr mod done under warranty after a couple of months into ownership.
No other problems at all.
Winter get 40mpg around town. Summer averages 52 mpg. Motorway it will do 62 mpg sticking to 70.
i'm so impressed with the economy considering the power.
Myself i cannot decide whether to get it polestared but a 10 ps gain for £800 quid seems poor, although the torque gain interests me. Gains are further with the auto as it livens up the auto box.

Wet cooler weather front wheel traction is very poor cannot use the power available.
I'm going to change the tyres to all seasons soon to help the traction issues.
Don't think i would like to run it without extended warranty though.
