I agree with Shutterbug. The maintenance cost of should be less for diesel, you can read it from a lot of report or tech write ups. I used to own a diesel, the maintenance cost is less.
The decision criteria you need to choose is what you are comfortable to drive with and what your driving style is.
Diesel has better fuel economy, lower maintenance cost and longer enginer life span. But it has slower accerlation and startup, not cold winter friendly. Also it is more expensive.
So if you like to race between traffic lights and traffics, you will not find driving enjoyable with diesel. |
