So.... The world has changed!

I've driven many diesels, including the newest ones and i do admit they are better than they used to be but i don't like the way they drive or what it would say about me as a car enthusiast, at some point i have no doubt that i'll have to downsize for financial reasons but my old trusty mk3 won't be replaced by anything that has a 'd' on the bootlid.

the noise gets me

The very latest diesels are very quiet, i just don't like them but i'm sure i'm in a minority these days what with fuel prices.

f**k that sh!t get big engines while you still can! I have 3 cars and two of them are 2.8 six cylinders 

You are right I suppose, give it 20years when we start running low on our oil reserves and no one will be allowed to drive more than 2L engine I bet...

We will all be driving Jetsons cars by then!

Why does driving a diesel have any effect on how much of an "enthusiast" you are?

I'm currently on the look out for something that will run on veg oil. Even tempted to try out black diesel which is diesel and old engine oil on a 50/50. Only trouble is I can't have it breaking down cause I've fecked it with oil.

Looking for a MK3 Estate or a DTurbo 306 pre 95. Not sure what pumps Scenics have?

Noisy lol try driving my scirocco nothing diesel about it apart from the mpg, seriously though the modern diesel should not be knocked till you have driven one!

Diesel volvo's are supposed to be good for this, 740/440

Legend, keep forgetting to look up Volvos. Mega cheap insurance.  Cheers.

Went out in my mates 08 Audi a3 sline and that was lovely. Feels like a petrol, pulls well and quite.

But still, you can't beat the sound of a vr6
