More responsive??
Have you driven a diesel?
Peak torque is 2000 rpm..so how can petrol be more responsive?
I have driven a petrol and found it to be lacking...it felt flat in comparison.
The only way I could get it to go was to thrash it to death and even then it felt slower..
The diesel is smooth, quiet and pulls well in all gears.
