Not driving a diesel

>not using the superior petrol of maintenance and cheapness and happy revs

No, no you absolutely fucking can. Trust me if you lived in yurop you'd know diesel is litteral cancer.

I'm a bonger.
I'm totally biased though because I'm a diesel engine calibration engineer.

sounds like a tractor lmao

I'm sure your 150fl-bs really pull

shame you can't calibrate your hearing aid though

>not driving a two stroke

No, but I can calibrate our sound meter.
And I'll believe that over your anecdotal evidence errytim

Microcars are expensive

Why even live

I bet you think VTECs sound awesome, lmao.

On a car that weighs barely more than 1100kg, you bet it pulls decently.

is that really supposed to sound good

its like an even worse sounding Subaru

this guy knows whats up

Torque only matters after multiplying by rpm.

>worse sounding Subaru
Multijets do sound a bit like boxers when higher on the power band.
But saying it sounds bad, is stupid.

>But saying it sounds bad, is stupid.

saying it sounds good means you have horrible taste

Saying all diesels sound bad is equally stupid.
This isn't the 80s.

Fuck you

>trolling because Veeky Forums makes fun of his shitty car

you show em

>diesel fiat

I could literally fall asleep it sounds so boring

Detroit Diesels are the only decent soundings ones

Sounds like a lawnmower mixed with a rotary

>Driving a diesel bigger than 1300cc

>he drives a diesel fiat

>"I...it's fine I have a small car!"

>you bet it pulls decently
That's what your dad said when he jumped into your bathtub

Tell that to a tractor owner and watch him plow straight through your house with his 20 billion liter naturally aspirated diesel whateverthefuck engine

I DD a TDI Beetle. It's a 2003 GLS 5 speed. I think they make excellent daily drivers but the quality of the interior plastics is awful. That's my main bitch.

The 1.9 is pretty torquey and gets up to speed with great ease. I would have loved to look at other options but there was nary a diesel Saab or Volvo to be found. Wasn't interested in a diesel BMW.

I feel so sorry for mjet :(

>fwd diesel fiat

BMW makes great diesel engines tho.

Why aren't you driving a diesel S Class?

Mercedes diesels literally go forever, lol.

>literally uses the engine from a Sprinter van

The only good diesels are in trucks, i.e. DD two-strokes (8V92 etc), Cat 3408, Mac E9 V8. Scania V8's etc.

Consumer diesels are garbage.

i drive a diesel

but i dont daily it.

and I will run on ethanol

literally math illiterate

>13.6 second 0-60
why are you even allowed on this board?

I appreciate good simple bait, but for real
my dd is an 86 diesel golf
car looks like its been neglected for 30 years
still gets 40 + mpg
got it for 600 and have put maybe 300 more into it... 2 years now
easy to work on.
I love the lack of spark... simplify.
Acceleration? no... if thats your thing, drive gas
the sound? are you guys serious with this bullshit? yup, loud. I love it because I'm a diesel guy and love these cars and when I hear it, I have positive associations firing in my brain.
If I was a gas guy and worked on a particular gas engine, I would love the sound of that engine

objective advantages of diesel
long life
no spark needed
more energy per gallon in diesel fuel

If he has a fuckton of torque at 100RPM, making the same power as another engine with less torque at 6000 RPM, the low RPM high torque engine could much more easily take heavy loads, unlike your mother, due to the abundance of low end torque

What are you talking about Mercedes diesels are fucking indestructible. Some of them have several million miles on them and still run like new.

How much do you think this yuro is gonna tow in his fucking 1.3 liter fiat lol. At the end of the day it only makes 140 ft lbs.

Not the new ones. Electronic gremlins will make your life hell before the thing even has a chance to start rusting to death.

The "hurr I need a full size truck to tow an ATV or jetski around" is mentally damaged. Semi trucks have as much as 0.025 lbft of torque per lb of weight, and those are the big engines.

With a 140 lbft engine you could power a 5600 lbs combination and get to the same torque to weight ratio as a 600 hp semi.

ISUZU

>discounting the transmission and chassis

No, it couldn't tow 5600lbs.

Holy kek. Is this you?

I think his Punto is graphite, not electric blue

Leave it to the brain dead Americans who drive automatic to not understand gearing.

you are easily one of the worst and most annoying trips

shoutout to suicide because it's what you should do

Torque for a really small powerband feels fast to those who are too poor at driving to choose the correct gear to go fastest in, and for road driving, where you rarely have max acceleration for long periods. Drive a diesel at high revs on a track and you'll realise they don't have outright pace compared to an equivalent petrol engine.

>pulls decently
>laughing at the choices of others when your own choice is only decent

Okay m8

Aren't you that eurocuck with the 70HP FF shitbox?

So japs are brain dead because they buy more autos than Americans?

>there are people in this thread who think there is anything wrong with tractor sounds

and with these doubles ends my streak of 60+ consecutive shitposts without repeating digits

Gearing is a thing, also it gets like 50mpg probably which is good for an engine that produces that ammount of torque. Not to mention diesel is cheaper and taxes are usually lower for diesels.

The block on that Golf is also a gas engine block for carbed and mechanical fuel injection versions, all of which worked very well. Most versatile block FTW.

Google says its towing capacity is 1000 kg or 2200 lbs with a braked trailer.

My next DD will probably be a diesel. Had one as a courtesy car once and 60mpg @ 80mph is too good to ignore.

>objective advantages of diesel

>long life - Not inherent, but a design choice. Same life in petrol engines can be demonstrated by VW early diesels which shared blocks and cranks with gassers for many years.

Consumer diesels very expensive to maintain if something shits.

>no spark needed

So what? Diesel fuel systems are far more complex and require more parts.

>more energy per gallon in diesel fuel

Diesel is much more expensive in US. Energy per unit of currency is more valid metric.

>diesel is much more expensive in US

That's weird, in europe diesel is cheaper.

Shit you're right. Well I'm pretty sure that video is on his channel so he must have an autismo friend with the same exact shitbox as him

In the uk diesel is fractionally (as in 0.5p) more expensive, but due to castly better mpg diesles are cheaper to run

The canopy on the tub is going to be a full time Sleeper Cab, I live in Brisbane so I plan to travel up to the most northern point of QLD, and down to the bottom of Tasmania.

Petrol will not make the journey, Diesels rule this desert country.

There's a way out, you'know

Nice parking job m'lady. Next time try to fit into one spot.

Wasn't parked. Just stopped there, but okay.

Apparently *she

It's not a Daimler/Chrysler era Mercedes

And even then who gives a fuck if you messaging seats stop working? The drivetrain will still work

No way mjet is a she

That's why I drive petrol.

Parking like a man is autism now but stopping randomly to take a picture of diesel punto isn't.

except all the fault codes that will stop you from going through inspection

Mjet is portuguese? wtf i didnt know sand niggers like me went on Veeky Forums

>mjet has to tripfag
I mean, the fact that you have to beg for attention on an anonymous Tibetan knitting board pretty much means you should kill yourself already

>Your car is shit

JUST end it.

>getting this mad
And you say there's no reason to trip, lmao.

>Tripping to get attention

You are such a cuck.Just jump off a bridge.
