Re: MD Titanium Petrol or Diesel?

Everyone seems to worry about the DPF but I can't recall anyone here having a problem. The Mondeos uses a Peugeot diesel and they don't seem to have the problems that some other makes have.
No one has mentioned that the Ecoboost comes with a slushbox, whereas the diesel has a dual clutch box that changes gear so quickly.
The Ecoboost may be quicker, but my experience from driving a Kuga rental for a week is they drink petrol if you use the performance. The diesel gets similar economy no matter how you drive it.
If you're doing mainly city driving in traffic, or like to drive fast and don't care about economy, then go for the Ecoboost. Otherwise I'd say the diesel is simply a nicer car to drive.
If you're trying to get off the line quickly in the diesel, don't floor it. Get it rolling, then open the throttle.
