Well after much umming and aahing I placed an order on Monday for a new Exeo to replace my Leon FR TFSI. It's a sad sign that I am getting old - the ride on the Leon is too stiff and crashy so I was looking for something a bit more comfortable!
I've ordered the SE Lux model in Black Magic with the 170PS diesel engine - no other options required as it has everything I want. Should be able to collect it at the end of next week. Choosing a diesel was difficult for a confirmed petrolhead but it makes more sense than the petrol both in terms of mpg and residuals and besides I have a Caterham for the fun drives. I test drove a 143PS model and it had a reasonable amount of urge - there was also less body roll than I was expecting even though it wasn't the sport suspension. So it's not an exciting car but I think I will like it for the type of driving I mostly do these days. Does it say something about me that I have already been looking at Revo/Bluefin/etc.?
