Why do your car reviews still recommend diesels when they're being demonised?
Why do your car reviews still recommend diesels, when London and other European capital cities are making owning diesel cars so much more difficult ?

EU6 diesels will incur no penalty when the new ULEZ rules are introduced in London in April 2019. They are not affected by the crit-air rules in France either as long at the owner displays the correct sticker. Older diesels are.
Our Fuel Cost Calculator shows you which will be the best choice for you.
Compare the running costs of petrol, diesel and electric cars to make the right choice for you.
Will you have to pay the low emissions charge?
Use our ULEZ checker to find out if your vehicle is subject to ULEZ charges. Simply enter your number plate into the Honest John ULEZ checker to see if you will have to pay to enter the London Ultra Low Emission Zone.
