Hi all whilst driving my new vrs (when i actually get chance) l have noticed that with the cr engine there is a distinct lack of engine braking in comparison to the pd that was in the old girl is it just me or do others find this as well.

Just as an aside was looking on simpsons site and saw my old car listed and looking mighty fine and made me feel a little bit love sick for the old girl!!!

Have never driven a pd engined car but have noticed the lack of engine braking on the the cr.

So its not just me glad to know im not the only one

I really want a diesel as I prefer the driving experience but I don't do a lot of miles so it would probably be better if I went petrol however, it's great to read comparisons so keep them coming please :yes:

The PD certainly has more "shove" but I prefer the smoother drive of the CR tbh.
