at the moment im driving a courtesy car diesel type s 547 miles on the clock , as others have said the diesel engine is quite superb but i still prefer the 1.8 petrol .
if i wanted to save some money on fuel i would have purchased a diesel (or would i) the price difference inbetween the type s and the type sd would take some recouping in fuel savings alone , i am currently averaging 41.2 mpg in the petrol and im not a lightright,the courtesy car is returning 47.7mpg so not much difference , if you read all the forums the diesel is eating tyres and brake pads a lot quicker than the petrol (this is the case with all td cars versus their petrol counterparts.Both the diesel and the petrol put a smile on my face even the 1.4 when broken in revs for fun and is great around town.
