Proper generic car family car. See them everywhere.
seems more of an internet statement than real life that.
Maybe not so much up north because you're all poor, but here in the prosperous south, they're everywhere.
I like them. Wouldn't mind a 330d myself.

TBF it's more a southern thing, amplified in Essex.
The car is very nice though

What is the petrol version like to drive? Powerful enough?
Wouldn't expect it to be that good on fuel.

petrol is decent hammer, got the 3.0 petrol one and as Jambo says the low down grunt is superb, sounds fantastic as standard too, not blisteringly quick but very smooth and effortless.

Its adequate for a family car, 150bhp, and pulls very well, not gonna win no qtr miles but I'm content and the missus is more than happy.
I was looking at the 320SI as these have a 170bhp but couldn't find one with low enough millage and there are some reported issues with the engines. The SI was a homologation model and looks the part and has some nice touches.

Jealous tbh.
You're just upset your mum won't sign as a guarantor for a financed corsa.
