You buy a diesel for the performance. THe diesel makes it power at lower RPM's.
In the end the diesel is providing more low end torque/power creating a more relaxed experience. The engine is not spinning as fast or revving as loud vs. a gasser. The transmission is not shifting or searching for the right gear.
