lol whats wrong with vauxhalls? ive had about 7-8 cars and 3 of them were vauxhalls and they were all the best cars ive had, cheap to fix and dont break down very much and easy to find parts

[munkul]

not a turbo? Then you might as well give up now then. Game over.
non turbo diesels are REALLY SLOW, and arent any more economical than a (much faster) small petrol engined car.

Plus the insurance may be as bad as you might think...

If i were you i would get a sporting mk2

[Mr Hans]

cheapest diesel must be a 106 diesel?

[Puntoboy]

Why diesel? A few of the guys at work have been looking to petrols due to the increased running costs of a diesel and the 5 or 6p/l increase in fuel price compared to petrol. We're all field engineers so do a lot of miles.

[MasterAuron]

Diesel and petrol are exactly the same price at the Shell around the corner from me. You have the economy of a small-engined petrol car, but half-decent performance when you want it (turbo-diesel anyway). And that's before a remap

[John_c]

Fiesta ZS TDCi. with remap they are quite nippy.

Tax is only £35 a year, insurance is roughly half the price for me on a TDCi than it is on my petrol version. And deisel is only a couple pence more now.

Dont bother getting a non turbo diesel. Wont be much more economical than petrol, and will be slow.
