@jjburkecarsales: what is this perception that diesel in point-blank the best / the most efficient fuel all around? diesel absolutely suits certain drivers... but not every driver!
short journeys will kill a diesel engine in no time

The chokehold diesel has on the people of this country try is chronic. I have one myself because my use case actually suits it

Diesel engines are only good if its 2.0ltr or more, small diesel engines are rubbish.

With that mileage an EV would be perfect. They would only need to charge once a week, if that. Costs to run would be almost nothing if they could charge from home or work.

Make sure its 2008 or less and it will last them a lifetime.

Myth that diesel engines are good for short distances. They’re better than petrol over longer distances. And will perform the same if not better still on short runs. Fuel efficiency will be better and car will run for hundreds of thousands of miles if look after as with any car

Diesel engines go forever if properly serviced. Sticking to my very reliable diesel until petrol becomes affordable.

Diesel is no good for short journeys but as I found out last week in Spain with a new Corolla, hybrid is absolutely useless for long distance journeys. After 900km it was averaging 5.9l/100km which is just shy of 40 MPG. My partners 2014 Citroen DS4 1.6 HDI never goes under 60 MPG and my Range Rover 3.0 V6 diesel will do 42 MPG!!

Hybrid petrol cars offer similar fuel economy to diesels without any DPF, EGR or Adblue trouble 👍 no need for a modern diesel unless ur pulling trailers

Our second car does about that and is a 2008 mini cooper 1.6d, we've had it almost 4 years and it's never put a foot wrong. It's all about the maintenance and understanding your car a bit.

Yeah, bought a 3L diesel to commute, then changed job. Now 8 mile commute so it just gets leathered on the motorway a few times a month to keep things ‘clear’ 😂

diesel debate is so weird, many at my work drive less than 2 miles to get to work with diesels and nothing wrong with them 🤔

they're more comfortable to drive most of the time. the torque makes for a more relaxed drive than a ratty little 3 cylinder screamer
