Go ahead buy the TDI. The difference is not much performance wise but IMHO if you dont mind spending about 50K more so for the DICOR, buy it, as it is supposed to be the latest thing in Diesels. Noise levels and the pickup is definitely more in DICOR. Long term reliability is well....I am not too sure about but I have seen a friends much abused Indigo 3 yrs 55Km and though it has the usual rattles n squeaks but still delivers the goods pretty well. And somewhere here in these threads I read that even with TATAs if you care for your car it would not be much of an issue even after 5 years.
