My Pewter Olive GTX Plus is a turbo DCT, so you know which way I lean, but I keep getting pulled into this argument at every ORR coffee stop and I want the club's actual count.
Autocar's advice column puts it quite plainly: the diesel is the more efficient one and a calm cruiser, while the turbo DCT is "more powerful and more involving to drive" and the one they'd give an enthusiast (their take here). On paper the diesel manual still tops the range at 19.4kmpl per the ARAI figures.
So where I honestly waver: my commute from Gachibowli is mostly crawl, and that is exactly where a dry DCT is least happy. The diesel's torque would make those days boring in the best way.
Reply with D for diesel auto or T for turbo DCT, plus your monthly running and city share. I'll tally it.
