[FrazzleTC]

I've never owned a diesel which I've used, but the one I did have had suffered a pretty catastrophic failure. I do drive my V6 relatively hard, and I do tend to like to press on in any car I've had, and, so far, my V6 hasn't blown up.
The diesels are good, and I know a lot of people like them, but, I remain unconvinced by them. I'll try one if I see one in a car I like, and run it for a wee while, but I'll stick to V6 engines for a long time.
The only thing I'll never buy another of is a manual gearbox'd 75 or ZT.
