    I've driven the company pool cars and underwhelmed was my overall feeling, as usual with Ford Diesels i stall the things several times
    Diesels and petrols drive differently at lower speeds.

    If you aren't use to one of them it's very easy to stall.

    I stall petrol cars when I start driving them as expect to be able to do things at low revs you can do in a diesel.

    BTW I only have a diesel due to fuel economy.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

    We had one for about 3 years - loved it, very reliable, spares are cheap, great car. Was most disappointed we couldn't find one in our price range when we needed to replace it. Check prices and reviews on autotrader web site :)
