Default Re: What's the appeal of diesel?

It does, the bhp is over 190. Not enormous but, the mid range torque is shattering. 30-60mph, 3rd gear in four seconds, for example.

It is fun. Especially as the car is totally standard in all other respects.

THe only thing I'd advise of everyone is to let the thing cool at idle for a minute or two before switching off when the engine is hot.
