These cars all perform well , no matter what engine you choose to have under the hood. Its a matter of preference. Its like arguing which color is better then the other. That falls into the same category . Different colors sell better in different parts of the world. Thats what SHOULD make this world a great place,, but it never seems to work out that way.  |
You're right. And most of that volume comes from fleet cars who are almost always diesels as they are taxed heavily from CO2 emissions. This results in thousands of pounds/euros of savings on the purchase price and justifies swapping a sweet 28i for a 20/30/35d tractor.
