It depends - the higher the mileage you do the more sense a diesel makes. If you plan on load carrying or towing then again - diesel makes sense. City driving and short journeys - no point going diesel.
The recent 'diesel is evil' stuff is ridiculous - people were encouraged to buy diesel as it was 'cleaner', now apparently all diesels runs on rendered down baby seals and emit clouds of poisonous gas the likes of which have not been seen since the first world war. I assume it's part of the push to get people to use electric vehicles (because electricity is magic and generating it doesn't have any environmental impact).
Either way - the real thing to note here is "don't buy anything French". Having said that my Pug 306 was a fantastic car (apart from the issue with the airbag warning light that stayed with the car for 150k miles despite the main dealers best efforts).
