As i said, the two are from different classes and i dont drive the diesel but the petrol so will not and cant compare the two. However the diesel turbo lag is something that is present in every diesel imo, driving my dads audi just needs a bit more paying attention to make sure you dont go below 1700 rpm. Diesels are motorway darlings which they are designed forn not city driving. Here in belgium everyone wanted to buy a diesel because of cheap fuel price and discounts. But now with the rising diesel prieces, the petrolheads are returning. AND BOY THE SMOKE IT MAKES, YIKES
i feel unhealthy whenever i see a diesel accelerating
and then light up a smoke
