450 over the 451?
So I have a 2009 451 gas and I love it. I test drove a 2006 diesel and this one and went with this one because it was more zippy and seemed fun to drive but the diesel one had a really sus seller who didn’t even have the title in his name.
But I’m thinking of looking for a 05-07 diesel here in Canada after doing a long road trip of 12 hours, six hours each way. I went through close to two tanks of gas, and my back and butt where killing me. I’ve read the 450 is much more comfortable for long commutes, plus it’s twice as fuel efficient with the diesel engine. I also do a regular commute of 45-50 mins each way about 4-5 times a week right now. Seats are comfy for that but I wouldn’t mind halving my fuel costs.
Now that summers here I also really want a convertible. So thinking of maybe doing a trade in of my 09 gasser coupe for a 05-07 diesel, preferably soft top.
Or should I go the other direction and check out a 453 gasser? Right now I commute close to 4-5 times a week on average about 45-50 mins one way, so I’m trying to think of saving money on fuel.
