Will Kia's warranty cover a faulty DPF?
I want to buy a new Kia Soul diesel, but I will only cover 6000 miles a year. If the DPF gives problems will the seven-year warranty cover it? Or would I be better off buying the petrol version?

Unless you balance short journeys of less than five miles with longer journeys of 30 miles or more then better to go for the petrol engine rather than the diesel. The warranty will not cover self-induced DPF problems.
