Meh, yeah, JJ will slag me off for saying it because I'm biased, but don't give a shit.
My V50 2.0d has been cracking for me, I've put over 70k miles on mine, been ace. Cheap on parts, comfortable for long distances, reliable (original clutch and fly at 151k, replaced rear dampers and a wheel bearing - otherwise general servicing upkeep), powerful enough for most and fine to drive... Later ones with DPFs rarely have issues, at least in comparison to the 1.6 HDi they put in them and everything else... Can't fault it.
Exactly the same as a Focus estate, but a bit nicer inside basically.
