Why any diesel hatchbacks exist baffles me. I can see zero point for a diesel Golf for example. And why anyone who lives in a city and sees regular traffic and short trips would buy a diesel baffles me too.

This is 100% truth.
Diesel makes complete sense in trucks and utes, bigger SUV's etc, but a hatchback?
I reckon the uneducated love comes from the torque. A diesel goes well in a straight line so they're awesome! Never mind all that extra weight over the front wheels, the low revs, the sound, the smell...
