If you are purely thinking of value for money with such low milage a petrol is more economical. I only do about 7k a year and found the diesel would be a bit pointless as I was chopping in my focus ST170 as I found it really expensive to run.

However you seem to be leaning towards the performance of the diesel and I think once you make your mind up no-one will talk you out of it regardless of the value for money, and theres not a huge price difference between the 2. As someone said test drive both and see which runs the way you prefer!
