It is a bit of a no brainer these days towards german built diesels, they are at least as powerfull if not more power than there petrol counterparts, they produce significantly more torque across a wider band (more drivable, but they dont rev that high) they are more economical, and just as quiet. Only thing they dont do is sound quite as nice when thrashed, hopefully people wont fit drain pipe exhausts to them (although i have seen a 306 hdi about with said exhaust type
) oh and diesels tend to be more reliable as well and run in all conditions on any ol' junk fuel (no need for 'super' fuels and such)
