I've been looking for an estate for a while and ideally wanted a petrol because I do quite short journeys daily but having not to much luck .

This one was recommended to me today and it seems like a decent Car, I've had it checked out mechanicly and its been well looked after.

I do a couple of spins a year to UK and back but I'm still a bit worried about dpf filter issues .

I know price is a bit steep but I can try neg a better price .

Any advice

Whoever recommended a Mazda diesel to you should be taken out and flogged especially when your doing mostly short runs. Google is your friend, do a search on mazda diesel reliability.

Thanks ... I have actually but this car came up and I had a gut feeling it was a bad engine as such but wife fell in love with it and I was terrified things were moving on to fast .

Back to driving my c4 for a while .

Been looking at passats and opel/Vauxhall Astra previously ... anybody think of any other good petrol estates ???

VRT is just under €1,200 on that one.
