Buying a used SUV - petrol or diesel?
I'm looking to replace my Volkswagen Golf GTI Estate, which I really enjoy driving. I am thinking of a used Nissan Qashqai or a Hyundai ix35 but seem only to find diesel models .Do you think diesel cars are still worth buying in the current market ? Do the 2 cars have DPF problems?
