I personally would not touch a diesel car now, with pressure against them from the BMA (the doctors body), the EU, and many cities contemplating bans. If you need to drive to/in cities, you could face problems, and surely at some point second hand diesel car values will crash.
It would be so easy for the government to increase the road tax on them, and perhaps even on diesel fuel.
Anyway, diesel cars have extra expenses which somewhat negate the current fuel cost advantage - and petrol cars are now getting much closer on (real) mpg.
However, the health risks to us all (including those driving one) are the main reason I won't touch one.
