Actually, the diesel version is able to get up to 6-8 mpg better fuel
mileage. The unreliability had nothing to do with the engine, just the
transmissions. The global version has the manual transmission and it is much
more reliable.
This is a classic case of the marketing department dictating to engineering
what they will offer to us stupid Americans that don't have a clue how to
drive a stick.
