Ex850R;c-162018 wroteAny diesel is not suitable for short trips unless ypou take it for a freeway drive at over 90kmh for more than a half hour every week or two. the economy just isnt worth the cost of maintaining a short trip diesel car of any sort , so many peeps have been sucked in. (unless like my missus , she drives like she STOLE her S80D5 ALL THE TIME! And it gets a 6 hour drive at 100kmh every month or so to the country. Even then,you need to pay to have the DPF cleaned out by hand every 6 months or so.
Get a T6 XC60.....
Unless you get a late model XC90 , not the old shape but then i dont know which motor you may need in them.
I'm far more of a fan of the drive-e xc60s at this point
The t5 version is solid with the fwd setup and the fuel economy is way better than the t6 varrient
Xc90 d5, the thing is heavy enough that even a 60 minute drive once a fortnight is enough to get everything nice and warm
I've never had issues with the dpf... just the egr and swirl flaps and other bits found in the earlier ones
Shameless link to my xc90 v8
