Awesome post Keepleft, thanks for the info. I tested the indicator function and it does indeed work as you described. Remember seeing it all over Europe 10 years ago when I lived in Belgium and worked out pretty quickly that it wasn't just because everyone had faulty wiring in their cars!!! Great safety idea - typically it took Europeans to think of it.
Regarding the diesel motor, I assume you're still deciding between petrol and diesel?
I haven't found the petrol consumption to be overly flash, but honestly the performance is perfectly adequate and it's economical on the highway. It's smooth, quiet and really not bad at all.
Diesel adds a little more noise, dirtier refuelling (albeit helped by capless refuelling) which could be solved by simply having a glove handy in the glovebox but is ultimately superbly exonomical and more driveable with the buckets of torqu thrown in.
Had I a second chance, it would be diesel hands down, but I'm LOVING my petrol Titanium.
