By my calculation the gas mileage comes out to be about 43 miles to a gallon. Not bad at all. How are the noise levels inside the car?? Them diesel engines sure are noisy..

Diesels have changed a lot over the last ten or so years. Most are now common rail injected which has reduced the noise levels immensley. I would say that the new diesels are no noiser than our IS's with the direct injection.
