Does the TDI VW line qualify? Not interested in urea tanks. They seem to run OK, but that price differential buys a lot of Unleaded.

The bureaucrats at the USEPA are very anti-diesel. They mandated extremely low emission limits on light duty diesels and have forced design compromises which really hurt efficiency (massive EGR, lower compression ratios, DPF "burn-off" cycles, etc).

Far from being the best, but at least they aren’t an alien space ship design for a US-based service folks. Still not too bad in terms of performance.

And as it was stated earlier urea tank is not that much a headache. It is getting filled once in a thousands miles.
