Is the KIA cee'd Sportswagon suitable for low mileage driving?
I was looking to buy a KIA Sportswagon, but am disappointed to find it is only offered in the UK with a diesel engine. I wanted a petrol fuelled car as I only travel 6000 miles per year. The KIA rep tells me that their diesels do not have DPFs. Is this the case, and if so would it be suitable for the reduced mileage?

You mean KIA cee'd Sportswagon? Yes only diesel and only with DPF, but I have yet to hear of any trouble with KIA DPFs.
