I much prefer diesel - I like the low down torque.

With an auto box who's noticing?

I dont have a real preference.

There is a difference. Petrol is much smoother and the torque curve is different. Even with and 8 speed auto the difference is noticeable. On paper 0-60 acceleration times may be similar but on the road the difference is noticeable

Electric cars are far better than either.
