I must confess I tend to agree with Kitchendave.... I like tried and tested. Perhaps that's why my wife's 307 which is 6.5 years old has lasted so well. Regular services and an exhaust were our only expense. Let's hope the 2008 HDI lasts as well.

I would have ordered the petrol version as well but as my own car is diesel and I fill them both with fuel, I've had a couple of close calls nearly mis-fuelling, so I ordered the diesel.
I don't know if anyone else had done it but I did a cost analysis on my own car looking at fuel cost and service costs and found the petrol marginally cheaper to run. However the residual on the diesel is always far higher.
Enjoy your new 2008 as I'm sure my wife will when we get ours later this week.
