Due to a serious accident, I need to change my car & caravan. Previously towed with a Petrol Octavia with a lightweight van.

To have more options on a caravan, considering a diesel, possibly a 2L Octavia Hatchback.

My normal mileage is quite low, and not always a decent run. Am I going to have problems with the DPF. I have contacted various main dealers with conflicting advice

The way that diesel is being ostracised, it may pay to think to stay with petrol,  A larger petrol engine, purchase, running costs, insurance and resale figures all come into play.

How are your spreadsheet skills ?
