Replacement for Citroen C4

I will probably have to replace my 06 Citroen C4 1.6 HDI (110) due to recent hailstorm damage. Due to the things I have read in your pages regarding diesel engines for low mileage (I do about 8000), I am considering replacing it with a Hyundai i30 Active 1.4 petrol (100). Do you think I would notice any difference in acceleration and or general driving if I were to go ahead?

Will drive differently. The i30 1.4 feels quite lively, but a lot of that is because it's low geared and you will notice this on the motorway.
