Help Choosing model please [ Newbie]

[calum]

I have a 2004 1.6 petrol from new and with the exception of 2 starter motors it's been faultless for 96,000 miles, although I have been running it on LPG for 50,000 of those miles.

I service it myself and change the oil and filter twice a year. That may be overkill but it's less than £20 and worth it for me to know it's always running clean oil.

It's a good reliable engine and for your level and type of driving, probably a wiser choice than a diesel model.

Thanks for the replies , I'm edging towards petrol but pretty open TBH , Has anyone done a yearly price comparison ? MPG/Fuel Costs and service , I know its a lot of variables but it always does my head in trying to decide which engine works out best for us...Thanks calum
