Sacrilege to me mate, diesel just does not fit this category of cars at all for me. I'd never even contemplate buying any form of diesel car, the very word itself reeks of 'boring'.

I remember someone on here once saying that they'd never buy a type of car that has a diesel variant. A good rule I think and one that I will try to stick to.


F****** b****** thing...

Can't imagine the need to drop many cogs with electric. But travelling at higher speeds/loads would produce a very smooth whir. I think that'd be quite satisfying. Electric isn't silent, it's just not as load as combusting things.


No gear changes and smooth whir? Nope, that hasn't sold it!

Well there would be gear ratio changes, I just can't imagine it'd be stick shift. It's only needed to limit current draw.

Bags of torque not tickle your fancy?
