CrazyDave 0 Posted January 5, 2007 I like modern diesels, much much better than a few years back (remember the old Ford Escort / Mondeo turbo diesels with loads of lag and the 500rpm of power). Still one thing that drives me nuts..... the noise at idle, especially when cold. Honda seem to have this sorted. My neighbour has a visitor from time to time who drives a Civic and you'd be hard pushed to tell it was diesel. The BMW's i've tried are fantastic, 6cyl 4cyl. Prefer the 6cyl cos it actually sounds good. Had a collegue who had a bill for a set of injectors on a 6cyl......£1200! I had an Audi 2.0l TDI 140 with DSG box for about 2 weeks at work. It was great fun. Quick and lazy on the motorway, lively and fun down the lanes. 45MPG all the time, 60mpg if carefull. If you have to do lots of miles diesel all the way. But I'm a petrol head at heart.... bring on the Bio-ethanol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtc R32 0 Posted January 5, 2007 In reality, Its the whole package.... I'm doing alot of around town driving at the moment and sometimes using the motorways... When your getting 40+mpg your laughing..... I do like my C but just the whole easy driving at the moment in these winter months I love driving it on a daily basis... I'm thankful the C is more of a weekend car, although I haven't used it now in months :sad: ... I don't think I could live with it as my main car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
