Thanks Steve101,
Some interesting numbers there. I've done a quick check against the current model and although the 175ps will be uprated to 184ps it will be slower on the 0-62. The 150ps diesels have gained half a second on the 0-62 while the petrol manual is very slightly faster.
I originally intended to buy a 175ps just because I wanted the radar cruise but now that MRCC is std across the range I think the new petrol auto might suit me better. I do about 11,000 miles/yr, don't tow anything or need AWD, so don't really need the diesel economy and torque or off-road ability. The main criticism of the petrol manual was the need to work the gears quite a lot but now there is a petrol auto you can just let the auto box do all the work. And the £4,600 price difference is a very decent chunk of cash to spend elsewhere!
Do you think they've got the Fuel Cons. figures mixed up? Usually the combined number is somewhere between the urban and extra-urban values but this is showing the combined much lower. It looks like they have the Urban and Combined the wrong way round.
