Blimey, didn't expect it to be your thing Liam! Fortunately mine does appear to have been looked after....and now I've got the V5 I can see it's been in a my Nan's village (about 5 miles from me) for the last couple of years owned by the son of one of my Nans church friends....amazed I'd never seen it before lol! 
Not sure what you mean by an involving drive? You can drive then hard if you want, chassis seems to be good, steering is good being electro-hydraulic rather than full electric and much less roll than I was expecting...it's not so dull and numb as the equivalents (atsra/308) but retains more comfort and refinement than them! That said, if I had money and space for a 2nd 'fun' car, it'd be something made in the late 80s...
As I'm sure you're all dying to know the mpg...
I got exactly 600 miles to a tank (with the range saying 44 to go, bit pessimistic imo), and a calculated 58.6mpg... Not bad considering the static regen imo!! Only ~5 more mpg than I averaged in the 306 HDi's...but with working air con and heated seats lol.
Also, can the MAP sensor be used to read boost, obviously it is for the ECU, but does it give a useable value for us? I was watching coolant temps on live diags the other day (to see why the fans are often on after driving) and noticed the MAP pressure was hitting 200kPa uphill in 3rd under load at about 30, that's like 30psi though, so can't be actual boost can it? Or is than on top of atmospheric pressure which is about 15psi iirc? Just intrigued really.
