Default kompressor vs CDI

Hye everyone,
I wish to buy a C Class Mercedes car but I dont know which one (Kompressor or CDI) should I go for. Is anyone can explain the difference between C Class Kompressor (Petrol) and C Class CDI (Diesel)? Probably the difference in term of car performance, fuel consumption, maintenance cost, etc. Look forward to hear from anyone from you. Thanks in advance for your help and info.

Basically the CDI is going to cost a littlemore to fill up, but will cost you less to drive per mile from better MPG scores. The engine will also last longer if maintained properly. In terms of car performace the Kompressor (turbo) is far superior, but aturbo for the CDI can cure that. For long term economy I would go with the CDI. For frills go with he Kompressor.

Depends on your driving style and needs. If you are a performance oriented person, the kompressor is the way to go. If your driving needs are more in keeping with transportation and longevity then the diesel is the obvious choice, however, the new diesel is by no means a slouch.

Regards,

Will
