It's not 1978 anymore.  Diesels are no longer loud, smelly and slow.  Welcome to 2009.

That's not my problem with the 316d. Well, except that it is slow. God awfully slow (It makes the same hp as your Volvo 240).

And besides, it's easier to sell a $23k car like the Jetta TDI or Prius on the merits of fuel economy than it is to sell one for $10k more like a BMW 3-series.

But again, I wouldn't have a problem with a 325d. But I think that given the choice, there would probably be more buyers here for a Mercedes C250 CDI.

I have been in a 320D and its perfect and not slow at all.. I serious doubt the 316D would make a difference.

Who can provide stats on the 2 models?
