I'm still trying to decide between buying a V6 or CRD. Before everyone starts shouting that this has been done before and going on about fuel consumption, what I'd like to establish here is what they're like to live with. Reliability, performance (off road?), user-friendliness etc.
After reading several CRD vs V6 posts around the net, they always revert to gas mileage, but after doing some research, ON AVERAGE the V6 doesn't seem to use THAT much more fuel than the CRD.
CRD: 20.8 MPG vs V6: 18.4 MPG on www.fuelly.com (averages only taken from 2006 models)

So let's leave fuel consumption out of this post.
Basically what I'd like to establish is pros and cons of each. From what I've read, a big pro for the V6 is reliability. ...So what else?
