Hi,
I'm looking at V90 to replace my V70 2.0D 136hp.
Can't decide which engine will be less problematic in the long run (plan to keep the car for at least 5 years/60000miles), mainly drive around London on shorter trips but every year do a long (3000miles) summer trip around europe
Cars I'm looking at
V90 D4 57000 miles from 2018
V90 T4 32000 miles from 2019

T4 should be cheaper to maintain, no DPF to worry about
D4 has better fuel economy, but mainly short trips could potentially cause problems

Is there a good reason I should choose diesel over petrol in 2023 apart from fuel economy?
