His concern was the high cost of parts and repairs for small diesels.
I've been taking cars to him for repair for nearly 30 years, he knows I don't baby them.
I was surprised that he wasn't keen on the 1.6 litre turbo diesel, they seem to be quite popular (and reliable) in Australia and Europe.
Anyway, the petrol engine handles my driving style and conditions OK so far.
The factory fuel economy gauge is reading better than the EPA figure, but I haven't been through a full tank yet, so I won't jinx myself by making predictions.
