All diesels are now better than their gas counterparts in terms of fuel efficiency and reliability

[americanstylefreak]

VW's Diesels are way better than Honda, or Nissan's are.

@calboyincal

Diesel have always been more realiable and fuel efficent then petrol cars

[calboyincal]

@MultiDimcha nope, i own a diesel, as do several of my friends and family. Jetta's, cummins, old mercedes. no problems whatsoever with them. I also have experience with them on ships as diesel generators running for hundreds of hours at a time under a load without stopping. If I did own a car repair service it certainly wouldn't focus on diesels modern or old. If you build enough of them, some idiot will find a way to break it but in general diesels are more reliable and longer lasting

@calboyincal, I have huge experience with diesel cars. 20years old diesels were reliable. Modern diesels - bullshit. Of course if you don't own car repair service.

@cowmilky oh god why do stupid people come on you tube and piss me off. The only research I do on you tube is to watch reviews of new cars that I don't feel like going and test driving myself. As for 1 million mile gas car? I believe there are several mid 80's volvo's that have performed that trick. Sorry to whoever was driving them that long. People that come in here and know absolutely nothing about diesel, biodiesel, manufacturers of diesel engines, etc. just please shut up.

@buickboy92 the difference is you don't have to floor it or downshift. push the pedal halfway and the torque smoothly propels you past the car. diesels are actually making more power and torque on average than a gas engine if you compare where people usually rev their cars. Max torque on a diesel is very accessible (2000 rpm average) where on a gas car it's high in the rpm range (6000). Go drive one and you'll understand, just don't expect it to be the same as gas.

[calboyincal]

@MultiDimcha what are you basing that on? you are wrong on all accounts.

[MultiDimcha]

diesel is bullshit - to complicated and very unreliable. Don't buy modern diesels. Only gasoline. And don't listen such specialists as here - range on diesel is almost the same as in the same by horsepower gasoline

[cowmilky]

@americanstylefreak Your still the retard, Honda and Nissan use other manufacturers diesels, they do not make their own.

[americanstylefreak]

@cowmilky Ya they do! inform yourself you fuckin dumbass.. who's the retard now?!

They DO make them, they might not sell them in Northamerica but they do in Europe, Australia and Asia

@buickboy92 on the high way the diesels are better why? well my diesel ca rich the max torque from 1500 rpm what does that mean? I get the full power of the car much faster than a petrol. Most petrol cars need to pass 3500rpm to get the maximum torque. So the diesels are better when it comes to passing even better than many petrol cars with more hp. Torque is very important when it comes to passing and diesels have a lot of it.
