Reliability of a Ford Focus 1.6 and 2.0 tdci
I will soon buy a Ford Focus 1.6 or 2.0 TDCi, even though I drive only about 15,000 km/year.
Which of these engines is more reliable? I'm thinking about problems with DPF, DMF, turbo, ...
Or should I consider a Volvo V40 D2 instead?

If you mean a new one, no problems with the 1.6TDCI 115 so far. The 2.0 TDCI was always fairly reliable: more so then VAG 2.0TDIs. Volvo V40s have the same engines.

As good as the hatchback. Great to drive and very refined. Upmarket and comfortable interior. Usefully large boot. The best looking estate this size.
