Is the Vauxhall Corsa 1.7 CDTi diesel engine reliable?
I understand the Vauxhall Corsa 1.7 CDTi has the new Vauxhall diesel engine. I am considering looking for one. Is it reliable and does it have a good DPF life with the 1.3 CDTi, which apparently has problems?

The 1.3 is a FIAT engine. The 2.0 is an Alfa engine. The 1.7 is a GM engine. No feedback on how reliable it is, but if EU5 will have to have a DPF.

Solid and decently equipped. Reasonable handling and some frugal engines.
