Default Titanium - Petrol or Diesel ?

Hi Guys, I'm thinking of upgrading the XR4 to a Focus Titanium Auto Sedan ... just looking for some advice if possible please.

Iv'e never even driven a Diesel car let alone owned one but the extra torque does look appealing (on paper at least) .. does this translate to a better drive in reality though? ... is the Diesel really worth the extra $3,500 over the petrol model?

Also does anyone know if the Powershift Auto Gearbox is exactly the same model used in both the Petrol and Diesel models? ... I would have thought that perhaps the Diesel would have to use a different, or at least upgraded gearbox due to the extra torque?

Any info much appreciated guys .. I'm going to go and take a look tomorrow, would be nice to be armed with as much knowledge as possible ... don't want to get given a lot of mis-information by the Dealers.
