You have to be doing at least 15k miles a year to get any financial benefit out of owning a diesel car. And that's an old figure, with the difference in fuel prices these days it'll be more.

So why not have the smoothness of petrol instead?

Plus some newer diesels are finicky about doing low mileages i.e. lots of short trips.

1) I know what you mean, my dad has an MG ZT diesel, it's a 54 plate and has done 17000 miles. Not worth it, he should have got the 2.5V6!!! But he prefers diesel.

2) Agreed, I don't like them either!
