I chose petrol for three reasons. Firstly, as mentioned, it's quicker; secondly, it's familiar - I've always owned petrols; and thirdly, I cannot stand the smell of diesel.

I've driven a diesel as a loan car as well, and I found it comparatively sluggish off the mark, although it was better at rolling starts. Auto stop-start in the diesel would annoy me, too.

For me, fuel economy is not a concern. The higher fuel consumption should be offset by the lower purchase and maintenance costs too.
