Hi
Time has come to replace SWMBO's 5 year old petrol Focus with something a bit nicer.
As well as the familiar "bigbillifitgoeswrong" concern regarding buying a modern CR diesel which I'm resigned to there being no easy answer to, I was wondering if the usual daily commute would work with a DPF or would the thing never fully get up to operating temp leaving me asking for trouble?
What she has most days is:
0.5 mile to get out of the village
4.0 miles of 45-50mph single carriageway A road
2.0 miles of moderate town driving (lights/roundabouts the odd bottleneck) to get to school drop-off then workplace
then repeat in reverse (not literally!) 8 hours later.
Do you reckon a diesel with a DPF would be best avoided?
cheers
Steve
