I like diesel in CA because it's cheaper.
But, for anything other than economy and utility it's pretty shit.

but the cost of a new diesel car is way higher than a gas car and the maintenance is also more expensive

Diesels just aren't fun. But they're okay for econoboxes because they get better MPG. They're more expensive to fix than N/A MPI gas engines though. Old TDIs (pre-2000) are GOAT, they will outlive the body.
I know some faggot will come here and post that diesel Audi that won Le Mans, you can fuck off.
Also, paging doctor !mjet to defend his shitbox.

I wouldn't buy a new car. But if I can get 35mpg out of an old tdi and pay 50 cents less a gallon thats good.
a tdi swapped xj or something would be dank
>maintenance is also more expensive
citation?

This.
There's no such thing as a fun diesel Most enthusiasts and normies will say a car with a fun engine is an engine that revs fast and revs high. Both are things diesels physically can't do.
To make an engine that revs fast and high, you need an engine capable of burning fuel fast and capable of getting it in and out of the cylinder fast (this also means an engine that makes god power). Diesel fuel burns very slowly, but very completely. So while it can't rev high or fast, it can get fantastic fuel economy.

you only pay less per litre or gallon wtv u say you end up spending more in keeping the car 'alive'

That isn't a citation. It's just words on a normie internet site saying diesel requires more maintenance. I've read words on the internet that say the exact opposite or that they are at least comparable. I'd expect most diesels to have no trouble hitting 200k miles before a rebuild. And I'd expect the same from a gasoline engine provided it's taken car of.
In most of the US diesel is more expensive at the pump, so it's completely useless in anything other than utility vehicles, so it's pretty much a non-issue. Diesel doesn't make sense for US consumers.
If I lived in San Fernando Valley and had to commute to Irvine or something diesel would could be a better option.

those are the costs here in portugal thats y i stand for gas but my people seem to only care about the 10 or 15EUR they save when they fill up the tank yeah at the end of the year you have saved ~150EUR in fuel but then, as all diesel cars, you have to do something no matter wat and there goes your saved 150EUR x2 or x3
i have heard from mechanics and taxi drivers (cuz this guys here know what they say when it comes to cars) that diesel only beats gas when you talk about 175-200k KM a year and for a small country like mine thats a lot
and here is something i hate about diesel cars, if you want to take out the full potencial of your car you have to remove all filters and shit they have (cuz diesel has a lot of filters for wat i have seen) and the car will end up producing a shit load of smoke like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSoDgDJQaro
this is a huge problem over here
