My 2 personal dislikes for diesel are
1 - service costs, for example get an idea what the injectors cost to replace. That is $$$$.
2 - the diesels I’ve driven, the power is there but it’s spongy, like it has a delay. Take one for a test drive and get an idea.
I’m sure one hers will chime in about the positives.
The modern diesels have a lot of “extras” to make them drive better. For me that’s another negative.
Also decide if you want a manual or auto and agin test drive it.
