Hi, has anyone got or had one of these, looking at the 1.6 hdi picasso 2008 and 1.6 tdi focus estate around 2009, are they expensive to run, reliable, common problems, etc?

All feedback is much appreciated :-)

Thanks

We had a 2 litre Picasso as one of our first cars. It was a good car to drive and gave us very little trouble. When it became to old for us to use we sold it to a woman to use as her private car and it is still running around. That can't be said for any of our other cars that have gone past their Council use by date.

I have the 1.6 tdi focus estate ( 2009 ) cracking car and very good milage, just make sure your oil and filter changes are done ( i change every 7k )..and it will run forever, just the normal..tyres light bulbs brakes ect will need changing with the high milage you will do.

I didn't spot the Focus being mentioned. We have 2 Focus estates on '58 plates. We have had them for just under a year and are very please with them.
