Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi pre September 2010 if no DPF is a must. Cars registered after that date have DPF's but there are no reported issues with them. Doing 20,000 miles a year you would certainly have no issues.

If you want space look at at the SW version (estate), its a big inside as our Mondeo was.

We get 51 mpg out of ours doing 10,000 miles a year. We have a DPF on ours, just regens when it needs to, no drama.

Buy carefully (preferably from a Kia dealer who can confirm that the service history is correct) and it will still have what remains of the 7 year warranty but the warranty is limited to 100,000 miles after the cars 3rd birthday.

Had our 2 1/2 years, no problems at all. Highly recomended.

Low mileage users = petrol so no DPF

High mileage users = diesel but the DPF problem only affects low mileage diesels.

At 20,000 miles get whichever diesel suits all your needs and don't get paranoid about DPFs.
