My point is, what kind of mileage are you getting in your cruze with a manual if you think 38 is good for that type of car?
About 37. But again, I have less power, a manual, and a newer engine
I want to point out here before we go further
Current diesel
That the Cruze is even more gay than most Subarus.
Gets 50mpg easily
So you're not making your case there.
My case is literally that diesels are pretty okay
Well you have no counter to my case that diesels are really gay
That an older diesel stuck with an auto, and making more power, still gets better mileage doesn't hurt my point
That is entirely your opinion m8
It is objective fact.
50mpg is only like 5mpg over what petrol offers
Not...really?
Which isn't enough to break even on fuel costs
and the cost is you end up with a less pleasant to drive vehicle
Most cruzes get like _maybe_ 35mpg
Eh
Less pleasant to you
Let's go back, your argument for diesel cars existing was that you like a car that will "pull in any gear", and I asked you to name a good example.
more understeer, less flexible engine, more picky engine in terms of gearing
You name the diesel Cruze, a car with a 0-60 time of 8 seconds.
Here we go again...
More fags trying to put things in your tail pipe
Base price 24k
I'm not saying diesels are bad, there are some crazy diesels out there, I'm just saying that in general for any diesel car there is a better petrol version
And? The equivalent gasser starts at $22k.
that said, for haulage diesel is absolutely better
I've got a diesel that fits the bill
1980 Mercedes turbodiesels
Diesel cruze only comes in the higher trims
Haulage is more gay cruising slang
So, let's just be clear here, if you were to choose your idea diesel car on the market today, a car that would represent diesel cars against all gas cars, it would be the diesel Cruze with manual transmission?
LOWS
Nobody-home steering feel, not cost effective, only for dedicated diesel nuts.
This is definitely no Cruze missile. With only 137 horsepower on tap, all the torque in the world won’t thrust a 3000-pound family sedan to the top of your gotta-have-it list.
To be fair
There's not many options
I mean what else is there?
also, while this might not necessarily be all that relevant
