I bought an 1986 Diesel Golf new and drove it for 4-1/2 years, and never once had an issues with Diesel smell.

Now a days I cannot be within 200 feet of a Diesel without wanting to puke.

If they are better I sure don't react that way.

The new low sulfur fuel is a disaster in the older vehicles, they pollute much more now in my opinion.

And what's with with the noise?

Diesels used to sound like marbles in a coffee can, now they sound like scraps of metal in a blender at high speed.
