Can you name some bio diesel cars or hybrid cars that work very good and are nice to drive?

I’m looking into buying one and I would love to hear how others like theirs. I’m having a hard time trying to find a bio diesel car. And another question is, if I want a bio diesel car am I going to have to hook it up like that myself.
Thanks!!

Will bio-diesel work on a regular gasoline vehicle?

I am interested to know if this is all possible since the price of gasoline is slightly higher then diesel. If we are able to use bio-diesel is there any conversion kit needed?
