As our car hasn't been built yet my husband and I keep having this discussion/arguement about the engine and whether we have made the right decision. We ordered the 1.2 vti engine based on my husband's logic.
In our current car, for the last 3/4 years we have driven roughly 4500-5000 miles a year. Short journeys around the city and occasional trips to London 262 miles roundtrip.
The new car we plan on keeping it for minimum of 6 years. Andwe plan to travel around England and maybe venture into Europe. There is a high possibility I maybe moving to a new job which is 68miles roundtrip. So all those things have me thinking maybe we should just go for diesel.
My husband believes as we do not do enough miles it's better for us to buy petrol, even if we travel around England once a month it will not be worth it to buy Diesel as we would not save any money.
My husband is probably right, but i'd like some independent input please
and to put to bed this diesel vs petrol argument
Thanks
