i'd rather boil my head in battery acid than drive a diesel. i hate em, no power, dead at 3000 revs and theres never enough gears to get up to a decent speed without your eardrums bursting due to the clatter. mind you the 2.0 diesel passat engine( 07 ish plate, also fitted to jeep patriot i think) on the sport type i had from insurance company had plenty to give once you got revs up but then hire cars are always faster than your own, dunno why
Audi & Peugeot have done pretty well at Le Mans with diesels and I think there is at least 1 diesel in the BTC now.
More torque than the average gas guzzler, power bands are similer to the last Volvo petrol engined car I owned. Yes they are noisy on start up but the old neighbours won't be around for ever LOL once you are on the move it's hard to tell you are in a diesel.

23 to 26 mpg around and about, 31 mpg at 140 Kmh on the autoroutes and thats with a P38 auto
Diesel is cheaper than petrol over here. Many road tunnels in France can't be used by cars running on cooker fuel:doh: so it's not a practical option
