Anyone one on here ever owned or driven one and like to express an opinion?

Had a V50 turbo D for a week on approval last year. The power delivery is out of this world, it's best decribed as a hooligan. The six speed gearbox was very good, it's cornering and braking were superb. All in all a very good car. The only negatives for me were that the ride was a little harsh, but I put that down to the Pirelli tyres fitted. At the time when I wrote the review for my employer, I was critical of the inside, but having driven others since it's not bad just different. I gave it a thumbs up and 2 Managers since have chosen them who both rave about them.

Wish I'd bought a ZT-T
