I bought a Diesel rather than the Petrol purely due to the extra grunt and the feeling you got back from the steering wheel. The Diesel feels i bit heavier and I liked that in the car. The petrol's steering wheel is too light for my liking.

The Diesel feels like a lazy boy's car the power is always there even at low revs. The petrol engine you need to push hard to get the performance. If you look at the stats however the Diesel is faster by 0.1 of a second I believe so its down to charactistics.

The Diesel's servicing is much more expensive which is something you should also consider. In fact it seems to be double the cost. Therefore running cost will go up if you only do low mileage.

Diesel you cannot get an automatic. This option is only in Petrol.
