I've owned multiple diesel cars but my wife's current will be our last. The repairs are simply mind blowing in cost. No matter what it's a min of 2k everytime. Usually I can tackle most auto repairs but not on it. Also diesel seems to be more expensive, sometimes by a dollar per gallon in winter. My A8 is cheaper to drive most times. The mpg really isn't that great any longer with what normal gasoline powered engines can achieve. Not to mention the added initial expensive of the diesel "upgrade". You HAVE to keep the car for quite a long time to see any benefits as well. One last thing is the pain of having to wait for diesel pumps at some stations, or finding diesel, plus the diesel fuel smell gets on your hands.
