    If you like that particular car, I'd take it for a lengthy test drive before committing to it.

    Fords generally don't have a lot of engine problems - you'd be hard pushed to find anything more reliable. However, I've heard that the TDCIs do have a few more reliability problems than the TDDI. For what its worth, I've had my TDDI coming up five years and engine-wise it hasn't given me a day's trouble, and its currently got just over 135,000 on the clock.
