while i've had no car, i am driving a brand new ford transit connect van, is a diesel
everyone kept saying (before i drove it), how good it was, and drives pretty well, ain't bad for a diesel, all that crap basically.
i've driven it now and its horrid, doesn't feel like engine is connected to the accelerator, very slow and boring 
people that rate these crappy diesels are stupid, (i know some diesels are good)

my mates turbo deisel transit is really quite amusing... it oooooozes torque from the second you squeeeze the go pedal...
honestly feels like you could tow a tank with the thing...
plus its speed is limited, it pulls cleanly to 105mph (private test track) and then just stops!!
Is the one your driving a turbo jim?
must be a crap model if it is...

Theres 2 diesel versions. Youve probably got the shitty 60bhp one. The faster one is great, has loads of torque and is pretty quick.
