Theres a couple of million common rail diesel taxi drivers in Europe who would like to have a word with you

Joking aside, the only problematic part on new diesels is the additional emissions controls installed on US bound cars. This stuff will also become standard issue in Europe in the next couple of years which should increase reliability dramatically. I think diesel emission controls today have the same maturity level as gasoline emission controls in the US in the 1970s. Reliability and efficiency will improve with time.
