Diesels are more fun to drive
>>28211170I had a 330d for a year and got rid of it precisely because it wasn't very funTo be fair that was more to do with the rest of the car than the engine, I thought the engine was excellent most of the time but it was at its best in normal driving rather than fun driving. It's brilliant up to about 7/10ths and then when you want to really push it you just get noise. I think a big diesel is the perfect car for a lazy fat bastard, doesn't need to rev much and just shunts you along with minimal effort. But a nice chunky V8 petrol does the same thing while sounding better and actually being able to rev so aside from fuel economy I think most 30/35d enjoyers would be happier in something like a Mustang or a supercharged 5.0 Jag.
>>28211170I've never driven a diesel and I disagree
muh torque

>>28211170yeah
>>28211170no they are not you fucking diesel monkey, tell me don't know anything about cars without telling me you don't know shit, oooough muh 4l consumption try driving something with VTEC and then tell me which is more fun to drive there is a reason no ferrari or supercar is fucking diesel
>>28211170I agree. Diesel trucks are what I like. Old school pre emission diesel.
>>28213285>Diesel truckswhy are you heredo you even like cars?
wow i make peak torque at 3k but then nothing else interesting happens anywhere else

>Be brit searching for cheap 3.0L+ cars>Go by cheapest first on autotrader>All automatic petrols or manual dieselsIs this because nobody wants to buy such a shit matchup or is the market seriously flooded with these?
>>28213295Cars are fine, just prefer diesel trucks. One day I will restore 90's W body Grand Prix. Next is building a 4x4 truck for the old lady. High on the list is a 5.3 silverado but all still in the planning phase.
>>28211170>Diesels are more fun to driveCorrection: Diesels are more fun to work on
>>28211190unlike 30d 35d pulls all way up. Literally feels like v8
>>28211170Imagine driving a car with an engine named after a bald, mulatto, faggot actor
>>28213335Us bongs bought almost nothing but diesels between like 2000 and just a few years ago because we're all clearly cheap fucks terrified of anything under 40mpg. Look at the ratio of petrol to diesel Jaguar XFs on Auto Trader and cry.
>>28213397I get the diesel thing to some extent, the gov virtually financed the car for you, on top of diesel coated basically nothing back thenStill don't get how it seems most of the big engine diesels are manual, then the few petrols are automatics
>>28213407I can only make guesses, but maybe it's because diesel buyers are typically MPG minded so they buy the manual instead of the fuel wasting auto, whereas those buying big petrols clearly either had money to burn or didn't mind the fuel and tax cost so bought the autos for luxury's sake.
>>28211170True I love blowing a fuck ton of smoke out the back
TDI chads WW@?!
>>28213456Fuck 2.0 tdi and it's intake bullshittery
>>28213261>supercar is fucking dieselThey wanted to make a diesel r8 but couldn't get a tranny that could fit and take all of it's torquehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMtKqVS1FX0
>>28214987More like they didn't want to spend money developing a suitable gearbox because they knew it wouldn't be worth the investmentBTW, this is the same VAG that did put a diesel V12 in a Q7, built a Bentley with a VW badge that no one bought, and developed the fucking Veyron from scratch, and they still didn't go through with putting a bigger engine in a R8
>>28214997Look at how slow q7 shifts, I feel like it was the only way to not break the tranny, plus its a bigger car so they had more room for the tranny
Where can I find a list of AWD 1.9 tdi cars?
