Hdi does have its benefits. Usually a nicer a car as they're newer and usually better specs. They will average better mpg than a xud but can't run on veg and you'll be paying £1.40 at the pumps. They are more refined than an xud and it depends how hardcore you want to go on cheap motoring
Thanks for the response. Not fussed about veggie oil. The wife thinks the high useage of veggie oil in cars is increasing the demand for palm oil which is killing off the wildlife habitats for uranutans etc. which is a fair point.
What refinements does the HDI have over the XUD? Are parts cheap for the HDI? What are the pros and cons as I understand the HDI is ECU based so I suppose its more reliable but when it goes wrong it has to visit the garage???
Is there a buyers guide on here at all? Thanks.
