Mmmmmmh...I like!

Nice and small to chuck around the city, great lightbar, uses less petrol than a commodore.

Any feedback from the officers?

Funny because in Europe a police car like this wouldn't get any attention at all :-)

It's actually a 1.9 turbo diesel. It actually surprised me, I thought it would be a pile of crap, but it goes and handles a lot better than I thought. Still sounds like a truck though.

It's the first one, which was bought as a 'test' is what I think is being said?
There's been plenty of talk about these under the WAPOL section of the forum..

Guys, the time has come to say goodbye to big engines...they're a dying breed, mark my words. The police should be setting a precedence (as you know, you can get a good bang for your buck out of 6 or even 4 cylinders).

My two cents worth...and I won't get pulled in to an argument.
