    Nuff said. I think someone mentioned on here before that the vast amount of petrols in Ireland are Jap imports.

    If you want Petrol and reliability Japanese manufacturers are your best bet. Toyota Auris , Honda civic, Suzuki Swift , Mazda 3 are all in the same class of car

    You don't need to change your car with that commute, for the sake of a DPF.

    At just 10 minutes each way, it'll take a long time for a DPF to fill up. You'll probably have done a long journey in the meantime, so the DPF will have a chance to clear itself out.
