Default D3 or T4 and more

Hi All,

I've driven a D2 and loved the car but felt I would like a bit more grunt from pulling away. So I thought I would go for a D3.

Until recently I had never heard of a DPF and after research I really feel that a diesel isn't perhaps the best car for us. My wife will mostly be using the car on loads of short runs. I have just read that diesel cars of 2ltr and above only have DPF. Is this true? Does the D2 not have a DPF?

Assuming the V40 diesels have DPF are they really the problem that the press say? Bearing in mind our many short journeys.

Upon looking for a petrol V40 I have discovered that they hold their price better than the diesel! Now I am confused!! Is this just down to rarity? Any opinions on this?

Thank you for reading
