Hi
my advice would be to give both a thorough test drive and then go away and consider which of the 2 drives closest to your preferences.
For some people,petrol is the choice with its inevitably smoother,quieter running and top end rush.Others love the effortless torque and easy fast driving qualities of a good diesel.Also,the fuel economy is a bonus,which does give a feel good factor,even if it may not really count due to low annual mileages.Servicing will be more expensive(the petrol 5 year deal seems a great offer)
For me,the Honda diesel engine is the nearest thing to achieving petrol-like smoothness and willingness to rev.The combination of superb throttle response and slick gearbox make it a pretty unbeatable combination
