Default F-Pace Diesel??

Maybe I have missed any, but I haven't seen any reference to anyone with a diesel F-Pace. Does anyone have one, or tried a test drive?
i am looking to move from a Cad. SRX to either XT-5 or F-Pace. Leaning more toward the F-Pace S but will look at the diesel. I have had bad experiences in the past with D. pass. cars. Looking for experienced forum members.
Thanks.

I brought my F-Pace diesel in Oct 16. I love it. Towing is 5500 lbs. Fuel is 38 mpg. at 75 mph. Quick driving. Don't heard the diesel after startup.

Really? we must be driving different cars... i'm not complaining, but its certainly not silent!

I have the FPace S diesel, love the car, highlights:
- Turn of pace is amazing
- Very nice interior
- Comfortable yet responsive
- Technology is fantastic (at least, relative to the 5yr old Q5 i had previously)

lowlights:
- Front wipers are noisy - they make this electrical motor sound, which i keep noticing and when you notice it, it gets irritating
- economy not as good as i would expect... but perhaps i was unrealistic and drive it too much in sports mode
- integration with google... BMW have it, Merc have it... i want to search for destinations on my iPhone and transfer the maps guidance straight to the car... Jag don't offer it yet and their navigation (whilst acceptable) is a far cry from google
- can't use voice control on my phone whilst connected to car
- the internet connection keeps dropping...
- I find the roadworks section of the map to be completely useless... (and i haven't figured out how to hide it)
