In a nutshell, my pop's 2010:
What's great:
- Low fuel consumption figures paired with very strong power. No compromises here.
- It's a big truck, lots of room.
- Starts up in heat, cold, first time, every time. Great heater in the winter too.
- Great, plush ride with the smaller wheels. Good if you live in the Northeast.
What's not:
- Like most European diesels, it runs best in high-cetane diesel, 47+. That's hard, if not impossible to find in some places. So knowing that the car isn't reaching its max potential is annoying.
- It's a big truck, drives like one. Adaptive Drive is clever and flattens most of the roll, but the mass is still there.
- The interior just doesn't impress in luxuriousness. Squeaks and rattles.
- My dad's isn't that reliable. Airbag errors, rattles, wind noise, flat battery. He's swearing off American cars (again). That's him talking, not me. That said, it is fun to poke at all the preventative measures he takes to avoid another dead battery.
