Hi,

need your help - I can not decide whether to buy a dCI or DiG-T ...
the cost of the car is similar, but some of the later costs vary considerably.

Here is a comparison DiG-T vs dCI:

1.6 DiG-Tpetrol £1.301.5 dCI diesel £1.33

TAX- £155TAX- £110
MPG - 31mpg MPG - 46mpg

10 000 mill per year cost is: (1gl.=4.55l.)

323 gl. 218 gl.
1470 l. 992 l.

£1911 £1319


I love the acceleration of the DiG-T but the cost dCI speaks on his side.

These data are from the Nissan can really be different - please help

Marius

I am not impressed with the consumption on my DCI mine has not reached 40 mpg yet that said I dont believe the DIG owners are getting claimed figures either.
based on insurance and tax I would still most likely choose the diesel
you could always go for the n/a petrol according to most owners they are getting 40 ish mpg
mind you will only have 5 gears.

It really depends on your priority. I expect there will be any number of people saying go for the diesel because of the mpg, but for me there's no substitute for power and it would be the DiG-T all the way.

Deffo the diesel. Accept 6 gears and nothing less plenty of forum users with petrol have said it needs the extra gear. Is the need to accelerate from standing a fraction of a second quicker really worth all the negatives?

The DiG-T has six gears - only the N/A petrol has five.

I reckon so, yes.

the insurance of the DIG-T is surprisingly low and the power is fantastic...I get around 30mpg

 

[Deanno1dad]

the smile factor on the DIG-T is worth the money..would love to drive a DCI to compare..any owners in essex let me know when you passing Romford to give me the chance.
DIG currently giving 30 mpg ,rising fuel costs may be an influence to you,drive both and make a choice,sure either way you'll be happy.

Service intervals are also different

DIG-T 12,500 miles
DCI-18,000 miles

Going from a 172 Clio it had to be the DIG-T for me.

 

[feefeeglasgow]

In saying that - I doubt I would ever leave it 18500 for a service .....

The 5 speeds for short hop town drivers only..unless you don't mind a hi reving engine. It's not intrusive but with the needle at 4 k at 80 mph its a bit high.The turbo petrol is allot quicker than the diesel and na petrol.

Tekna CVT. 34MPG (First week heavy boot in sport) and 1 gear all the way - smooth and easy. Goes like a bullet.

I am getting 48mpg from my DCi, and I've only done 700 miles. I have only ever driven diesels so I don't know if that has something to do with it.

I am driving in Normal mode, not tried Eco yet.

Eco makes no difference with diesel.
