Default so smooth and quiet

I know my saloon is a diesel but I drove it today for the first time in a couple of months. Really impressed by how quiet and smooth it is. I had not noticed the Tourer being any different but it is, not as smooth or quiet

My current 75 is my first diesel type, and I'm very impressed with it.

Yes, but as I said to you last week Heather, your car is one of the nicest smoothest ones I've driven in some time

Sometimes they simply are that good, and others can be...........well fairly lacklustre shall we say.

Mine too is very smooth and very quiet. You can hardly tell it's a diesel.

I have had to start using a hearing aid recently and have to admit My Diesel is not as quiet as I thought it was,NOT engine wise but the odd body rattle and vibration in the Dash area.
