Ford Tourneo Connect - does it suffer DPF problems?
I plan to buy a Ford Grand Tourneo Connect. I would choose the diesel, but am afraid of DPF problems because I only do short journeys in a city. Would you rather recommend the 1.6 EcoBoost petrol or have there been advances in DPF technology that make it suitable for short runs?

There have been advances in DPF technology but not with this engine. For city use, better the 1.6 EcoBoost, which you can get with an autobox. The 1.0 EcoBoost is not available in the Grand Tourneo Connect, only the five-seater.
