I want a diesel car for my driving school without a DPF. What do you recommend?
I am considering changing one of my driving school cars. Ideally, I would like to purchase a comfortable, quiet diesel car with a cam chain engine and without a DPF. My budget is £9000 plus the old car, which I estimate to be worth between £2500 and £3000.

Every diesel car now has a DPF and has done from January 2011. You might find a mid-2010 Hyundai i30 or KIA cee'd 1.6 CRDI that is not fitted with a DPF.
