So /o/ I was thinking about buying a Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI from the 2004 - 2011 period (the mark 2 version)
Has someone had some experience with this car?
My major concern is reliability, I fear money pit machines

Don't go near it. Total money pit and a pig to work on

Get a petrol one if you want trouble free motoring

Actually I'm seeing around it isn't that good of an engine whereas the 1.8 TDCI seems to be better

The 1.8 is older and less refined, but more reliable. If you really want to play it safe, get a petrol. They don't go for the premiums that diesel ones do, and have a lot less common issues so that negates the fuel savings long term.

In Italy by law diesel has to cost less than petrol, that's why more that 60% of cars registered here are diesels.

What about the price of the car itself? In the UK diesel cars generally go for a premium over petrol ones

That is a really weird law, I didn't know that
