Citroen C4 Cactus - Petrol or Diesel?
I am considering buying a one year old Citroen C Cactus but unsure whether to go for the 1.2 Puretech 110 Flair or 1.6 BlueHDi 100 Flair, both are about the same price (about £12k) with similar mileage. Given that I expect to do about 15000 miles a year and keep for three years which will have the lower ownership costs?

1.2 Puretech 110, even though it has a rather sloppy 5-speed transmission. 1.6Blue HDI about 10-15mpg more economical but you have to AdBlue, then you run into increasingly expensive maintenance as the miles and years pile on.
