Matt KB Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Hi, My Focus was smashed into recently so am looking at alternatives since it is likely written off. Budget is a bit limited, and would like something with low emissions (to save on road tax and parking, anything below 120g/CO2 gets a very big discount). Was looking at the KAs but don't think I can really fit into one that well (am tall). The salesman recommended a diesel Fiesta, June 2008 1.4 TDCi Zetec Blue 5dr. It has a good price with a very good deal, however I am concerned about the DPF and if I do enough to miles to not get issues. I have a 15 min drive across dual carriageways split by many roundabouts each way to work daily, and usually do 2 half hour each way motorway trips a week (so 2 hours total). Am I setting myself up for issues, I can't even seem to find a definitive answer on whether it has a DPF although given its low emissions (119g) I suspect it does. Or am I worrying over nothing? Have never had a diesel before, whilst I wasn't able to test this yet (will do next weekend) I was given something similar to get a feel for it and it was good. Appreciate any advice, many thanks.

Peange Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 The DPF was only put on the Fiesta from 2010. You have nothing to worry about :) And welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 What Scott said, it doesn't have a DPF ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
