      Don't listen to the 'diesel facists' they cost more to buy in the first place and need servicing more often which negates the mpg savings... good for towing caravans though.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              Do a search on the VW Golf 1.4 TSI and then come back with your tail between your legs.

              PERFORMANCE: [1.4 TSI 170PS] Max Speed 136mph / 0-60mph 7.9s

                They do a 1.4 turbo that has the equivalent power of a 2 litre.

                    Really? I was in a petrol nissan taxi that had 480,000 miles on the clock last summer!

                    They're still dull and noisy but I'm sure you're going to tell me different...

                      Are you on crack? They are all on variable thses days and diesels average around 18K per service as opposed to petrols which average around 13K
