Would have thought you should be much nearer 45mpg than 35, if not a bit higher! friend gets 50+ from a 1.9d BX and I manage 50-55 from a 1.9d ZX.
Agreed that non of the non turbo diesels are very quick, but you kind of get used to it after a while....

I get 50MPG+ out of my 1.9D Xantia under most circumstances. Performance however is a joke. I thought it was worse until I found my speedometer/odometer was reading 20% slow. It needs constant gear changes to keep it rolling at anything over 40mph although when it is wound up it will cruise along at the legal limit all day.
