20 years ago this was the deal. If you want a fast car, do not buy a Diesel. Same goes for if you wish to hear your own thoughts while driving, if you need to see something other than loads of black smoke coming from behind you, if you worry about the environment, and if you do mind asking yourself whether it will start in cold winter mornings and, when it does start, if you do mind waiting for about 15 minutes for it to warm up enough to run normally.
The only reasons they existed were a lot better fuel efficiency, high expected mileages (some old Mercedes diesels were known to run more than 600,000 miles) and the fact that they could run on almost anything oily, including used cooing oil.
But more strict laws about emissions and ever-improving fuel efficiency of petrol cars made the developers do something to improve the diesels. Common Rail diesels are what they came up with. And they are great. Remember all those downsides of diesels from the first paragraph? Forget them all. And still keep the better fuel efficiency.
