The diesel is a much nicer car to drive. But if you want a big, comfortable car and don't mind the slightly leisurely performance, a good 2.3 is a bargain. Don't try towing anything heavy though.
I couldn't go back to a petrol guzzler after the Mondy diesel's speed and economy.

It would be also a ripper towing vehicle I reckon had I the need and a towbar.
