Hi there,

I'm new here and looking for some advice. I'm currently eyeing up a 2015 Manual Forester 2.0D-L S4 and I've heard that people have had DPF troubles with short range driving in the diesel. I live in a coastal town north of Sydney so I'm not doing small distance, city driving but I'm by no means travelling hours at a time, every day. My girlfriend and I will travel to the snow and north about the same distance.

Is this a big enough issue for me to be worried about going through with the purchase? I am aware that you can drop into 3rd to help with burning off emissions. 

Really just looking to hear some opinions about the car!

I'll be selling my 1997 Subaru Impreza so it will be a welcomed upgrade if plausible.
