Diesels can be a bloody nuisance at the very low end of the speed range. 1st and 2nd gears are 'short' because of the lower revving engines. Once into 3rd though, you're in a different world. Mines delivering over 320lbft with a modest custom remap. This is similar to large capacity V6 petrol torque so you get that totally effortless feel in higher gears with very strong acceleration even in fifth gear.
