but spending a few grand on a derv is pointless cause the ONLY reason you buy a diesel is for good mpg. by the time you spent silly money on it that goes out of the window.
may as well have just bought a proper engined car in the first place.
No, spending a few grand on a derv is great because you get huge amounts of torque, which is what pushes you around the corners....and also means you can beat petrol cars in the mid-range....plus you don't get your wallet raped so much on the fuel.
I definately didn't get a diesel for MPG though, I got it for the torque and tunability - I love my derv, and wouldn't bother with a petrol unless it was a rally car or a Maserati, lol....anything below that level is not going to impress me (and Subura Imprezas,etc, are not my thing on the street), whereas a tuned derv will make me smile every time I go for a drive, not having to rev the hell out of a petrol to get any enjoyment from it, lol
