CRV Petrol Or Diesel?

[J1985]

I am looking at a Honda CRV as the next family wagon. Within my budget (12k max) the following engine choices are available:

- 2.0 Petrol
- 2.2 Diesel
- 1.6 Diesel

Annual mileage will be approx 9k a year, With 2 and 6 hour trips to see family every few months.

Straight away I thought petrol due to our mileage. However reading a few other posts it seems the diesel engines are more suited to the car?

Thanks for all the replies. Ended up putting a deposit down on a 2.0D Rav 4 Invincible at the weekend, low mileage high spec and managed to get a really good deal on it. Cant wait to pick it up!
