you'll have to come for a spin next time we catch up Ange, the greenbox makes a world of difference...see if i can't convert you...even a little

Thanks D145, the one I test drove was a manual and stock standard

However, I havn't experienced a re-mapped or 'green boxed' example, so your offer is welcome

Truth is, I would very much like to have a turbo diesel as an everyday ride, just waiting for them to improve in technology to the point where the stroke cycle is capable of supporting higher revs and therefore more kw, that'll make them truly awesome

Only downer is the price of diesel seems to be on the up and up, hopefully it won't get to the point where it takes away the efficiency and fuel cost savings of it all...

Diesels and petrols are for different people.

Diesel accelerates you with relentless effort at all revs. It's not as exciting as petrol.

Petrol is all show, diesel is all go. Simple as that.

And the entire point of a diesel is small displacement moving big cars. You won't find a petrol engine that can do that yet maintain same levels of efficiency, I guarantee you.
