The Juke is by far the ugliest car on sale today - how many different intoxicating substances had the designers been mixing before they 'styled' it? I bet 11. The only two decent looking cars in Nissan's range are the 370z and GTR, but even they aren't as good looking as some of their rivals.Quote:

I concur with this. Renault has had some dorky looking cars going all the way back to the R4 some 50 years ago and Nissan's Juke, Cube and Murano are certainly coming to the party.Quote:

Fabia vRS
I thought the new Fabia Vrs was petrol only.
Maybe I thought the old one was a turbo diesel.
I think the last one was diesel, while the new one uses the 1.4 twin-charged motor. Sadly the concept of company car doesn't exist here any more than the cars being discussed, sans Focus.Quote:

Focus, Mazda 3 or Civic is what I'd choose from.. if it had to be a diesel.
A VAG group 2.0 TDi is a good shout. I drove a Seat Ibiza with the 140bhp TDi engine the other day and was very impressed. Much more driveable through the rev range than the 170bhp version, although I only have experience of the Pump Duese variant of the 170 and not the Common Rail one. Did mainly urban running about the other day in it and it was coming back with mid-40s MPG figures.Quote:

Not much point in getting a DERV if you never take it on the motorway.
