Buying a used Renault Megane - which engine is best?

What is your opinion of the Renault Megane diesel 1.6? I am thinking of buying a 2008 or 2009 model.

The 1.6dCi 130 did not arrive until 2011, but is a very advanced engine. Much better than the old 1.5dCi.

Petrol or diesel ... or even electric?
