[QUOTE="m-jeri, post: 1949362, member: 21169"] No. The following is just my opinion. no one else. Buying diesel as the price is low and all is getting irrelevant. There used to be a time when getting a diesel made sense. When the price was that low. Now what is the actual price difference between both fuels?. And the upfront money you need to fork up. And I hope everyone does know the diesel machines costs more to maintain. It takes more wear and tear than a petrol. My family and extended family is been using cars/jeeps/SUV for over 45 Years in India, UK, Germany, Singapore, South Africa. So does know about different terrain and different road conditions. My dad himself got his first car in 71 or so. He driven from E230 to M800. Land Rover to Safari. Turbo, non turbo diesels. Petrol turbo in a Octavia etc. My extended family has a pretty good construction firm in kerala. They have around 150 Tipper itself not counting the other heavy ones. From Leyland to Volvo to AMW. They all use and swear by petrol vehicles, most of em Japanese :). The rich ones does with Audi, Jaguar and Volvo. Then again. these are my foolish opinions. I personally owned only 2 petrol. i10 Magna and now the Sunny mid variant. Only time i considered a diesel was the XUV. and my mother said no to it. :( :(. There is no merit in getting diesel car nowadays for a normal person with a occasional trip here or there. Unless you munching miles that does offset the cost. I know someone who does nearly 10K a month. And he drives(driver drives, he sits in back :)) a Renault Scala or Scalia. I actually would pick a naturally aspirated engine over any type of turbo. :). That's just me. I want the engine to have some life. I am an indian, I dont buy a car thinking in 5 years i will be driving a new model. :) [/QUOTE]
