You're just telling how one guy feels about it. Moreover, Mr. Clarkson isn't a reference in our spectrum of automotive performance, he couldn't care less about fuel economy.

How bout we look at the numbers.

148 hp and 258 pound-feet of torque, more than the new (to us) 2.0 VW CR TDI.
Peak torque at 1800 rpm and peak power at 3600 rpm, pretty much like any small diesel.
50 mpg on the highway, sounds good to me.
