Honda to axe Diesel Cars...

[kalniel]

the problem with the 1.4GT is this...turbo chargers break, superchargers break...its a 1.4 bein double charged...

its a hella lot more expensive to build than any other 1.4 and its going to have issues such as turbo replacement..

Nah, you'll just scrap the car for a discount before you ever have to worry about replacing the turbo.

However, on the whole the arguement that diesels cost more to but than petrol is only really evident on smaller lower spec cars... the further up the range and size you go, the more are made dude to popularity, and the smaller the price gap gets.

Yeah, probably true. Diesel likes being in thumping great engines. They get a lot more efficient the larger you get. Not talking about mpg or anything like that, but the larger diesel engine you have, the more usable energy you can get from the fuel.

Dave - I have the opposite problems with the seat belts, in 5doors I actually have to sit behind the B post so I can drive - belt is normally now just infront of my shoulder, but 3doors its about right (although no one can sit behind me in either for very long). Stupid 6'4" tall nonsense
