Diesel powered vehicle - more of my favourite.
And why Renault diesel only? Because there is one model of Renault vehicle currently being offered here in Malaysia - the Renault Kangoo 1.5 dCi 68 7-seater and commercial version.
Any other diesel passenger cars being offered here currently (2008) ? Yes, the Merc and the BMW which are sort of high end luxury cars.
Any other diesel powered non-commercial vehicles? Yes, the 4x4 or 4x4 pick-up trucks are diesel powered, and some SUV from the Koreans are diesel powered, and an American SUV - the Chevrolet Captiva 2.0L diesel. But when it comes to fuel consumption, they are not as good as this 1.5dCi (the smaller c.c. vehicle), are they?
My Kangoo is as per the slides... :D But the heart (engine) is a 1.4L 8-valve Automatic Transmission Kangoo. Not the diesel version. :(
One question I do have is why most (if not all) European diesel cars are manul transmission ? Especially the big three in France - Renault, Citroen and Peugeot. The Germans' are automatic transmission.
I wonder if it has got to do with the engine capacity? The smaller the engine, automatic is a no no ?????
