Thats a good point but I test drove a derv at the weekend, tons of torque but changing every few seconds I was nackered by the end of it. And derv sound...  :undecided:

Rather have lower fuel consumption and drive a big turbo petrol car. Some dervs on here including your Rhyso are really nice though  :cool:

Not being a dick but I think the only people who big up diesels are diesel owners

Not true, I knew someone who had a saxo 1.5D with 112k on the clock, he hated it  :tongue:

I just prefer petrol all around tbh, each to their own.
