I do roughly 40k a year in my van and it's diesel. I like the drivability of a diesel, but you're right petrols all the way for some serious fun. I've always had a diesel vehicle to be honest though alongside my petrol toys, so got pretty much the best of both worlds.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

You know its true... Good enough on fuel, comfortable and relatively reliable. And it has revs. I despise driving dervs that have very few. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

I do agree with you, however I wouldn't want to drive a petrol everyday, I like diesel power for workhorses and petrol for playtime... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Nothing like a stage 2 hdi screaming past though, checkout jonnys estate or Sean's Diablo, they are both hdi, sound fapping amazing, and give a '6 a run for there money. And still returns 50mpg |

The only derv that posed a slight problem for my old scooby was a new Audi A5 3.0l TDI. The scooby had the exrra legs but there wernt that much left. That said though, I still wouldnt buy a derv for myself. Id rather pay the extra fuel cost. However, the wife will be getting an Audi A4 estate 2.0 tdi at some point.________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

For a 3.0 TDi, i was really disappointed at how quick them A5s are! Really not as quick as all the audi owners bang on that they are. Mind you thats the case with nearly all audis |

We was up against a 3.0 tdi A8 and I was expecting a lot more as they seem quite pokey in work, but on country lanes it didn't half disappoint us. |

If I was to buy a new car, that was going to be an everyday car it would be a diesel. I don't think that there will be a point that the diesels will have better performance than the petrols, they will just come into line along side the petrol counterpart. You just have to look at the genuine performance cars and none of them are made in diesel. The only reason that the racecars are using them is that they can go longer without pitstops, so that's how they get higher up the points________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!

I had an HDi before the Rallye and it was good at what it did. I prefer the driving style of the Rallye and needing to use the revs although I do twinge sometimes at the amount of fuel it uses in comparison, especially on the long drive from Newcastle to Kent.________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |
