I think that the simple answer is, if you mostly do short city drivings and hardly do distance driving, then no the diesel will not be more reliable than thr petrol. That is what I understood from most who I have asked.
That is because diesels have particulate filters that needs long drivings to burn of the soot. Petrols do not have that I guess..
Also, I think diesels cost more if anything goes wrong...
If you do drive long distances often, then diesels are much better to have, more economical.
Sportiness wise, definetly petrol. Sound wise and feel.
