No, I had a Turbodiesel Mercedes. The engine outlasted the body. Ran great when they towed from my driveway. Now I have a Jetta TDI. Drove it to Niagra Falls last weekend and got 48.67 mpg, driving 75-80 mph. Now THAT"S value! I like turbo diesel engines. Unless they're in a Porsche. Then I want twin-turbos. And gasoline!
