My next car will almost certainly be a diesel car. I've only ever had one diesel in three decades of driving. That lasted 6 months for various reasons.

I often hear a premium-sector car start up in the mornings and it sounds very much like my Sainsbury's (other supermarkets are available) delivery van!

It makes me wince.

So, a question for diesel owners: do you eventually get used to the clattering sound of a diesel engine? Or do you still do that 'Oh no!' face every time you start the engine?

I'm pretty sure I'll get used to it and appreciate that some sound less noisy/van-like.

Does anybody have experiences of Audi's BiTDi engines. They look interesting from the power front, producing more than 300bhp through a twin-turbo V6 3.0L engine. Not sure how they sound though.
