At the expense of opening some old wounds I think you generally get more performance £ for £ with diesel. Where I'm less convinced is the reliability over extended mileages.
Dual mass flywheels, hydraulic engine mounts and outrageously complex fuel injection might well take their respective tolls over ten years of ownership. These are expensive parts to replace outside of the usual 3 yr warranty.
