The DPF/SCR system such as clogged DPF's, DEF injector issues, Short trip driving having adverse effects on DPF filters? Placing a 2018 order quite shortly and still waffling over 20D vs 25T. Ordering this weekend !
The vehicle will see SOME road time every week or so, but will be short trips of 5-10 miles mostly in stop and go traffic in all 4 seasons. I know diesels need to run, but we are more interested in 35+ mpg and not having to refuel every week... Is it mostly quiet and smooth?


What is current owners opinions, Please?

I've had my 20D since October and have about 7k miles on it. I drive about 5 miles a day, round trip. but at least once a month I take a weekend trip of several hundred miles and I have driven once to South Florida adding another couple thousand miles.

Absolutely no troubles. very quiet and smooth.

I drive 25 miles/day RT in heavy city traffic and was worried about this, but 3500 miles in, it's been problem-free. I do make a point to get out and run it once a month. I get about 30MPG in city driving, and about 45 on the highway. Super-smooth and quiet. Couldn't be happier!
