Do like the idea of all that torque though.

I remember the case with the Mk4 Golf TDI's though. Although they carried a substantial premium over the petrol-engined counterpart, their considerably stronger residuals meant after three years owners were £000's better off. Time will tell I guess if the MINI CD will follow suit
