Just been looking at the Honest John website.
C220 Blue TEC 170 Sport Auto 4dr OTR price £33,275
C200 petrol 184 Sport Auto 4dr OTR price £30,765
Allowing for annual VED savings the diesel has to travel 122,132 miles to break even for a driver doing 12,000 per year, which will take over 10 years.
Am I missing something here. Why is the diesel the more popular car when every review mentions that its unrefined noisy diesel engine is the cars weak spot.
I have ordered the C200 petrol :bannana: as I only do 6,000 miles per year but even high mileage drivers seem to be better off with the petrol version.
