Just picked up yesterday - happy christmas to me!

Only modifications I am looking at are side steps to protect from supermarket dings.

So far so good. Very comfortable and nice to be high up again after coming from a Mondeo. Lots of toys which I like but haven't yet taken it for a run to check out mpg and cruise control.
Waiting for a call back from the dealer with regard to the lights as there is not a symbol on the dash to let you know your lights are on which I find a bit odd.
As I drive it more I will update this thread.
Oh and before anyone asks it's not on PCP as I got such a great deal (with military discount etc.

Yep might have to change the wipers!

It's the 2.2 cdti manual and I am a bit of an mpg hunter. So we will see how high I can get it on a run. Took it for a short spin along the motorway this morning and the mpg started creeping up.
Going to Kent on Monday so it will be interesting how it is after that return journey.
Previous car was a Mondeo tdci and I had that at over 55mpg however I don't think I will get anywhere near that.

I have been driving it a bit more in the last couple of days and the average mpg is now up to 31.6! I think that I should be able to get it up to about 35 and if I can I'll be happy with that.
Would be interested in what other owners have managed to get.

Thanks for the info regarding the mpg and the lights. The car will mainly be used on longer journeys so cross fingers on the economy hunt.
