Title: Daihatsu Diesel Dilemma: Worth the Ruckus or Just a Banger?

Hey all, just picked up a used Daihatsu Rocky 2020 model with a diesel engine, and I'm getting conflicting opinions on whether it's worth keeping or jettisoning. Some guys swear by their reliability, while others say they're prone to DPF issues and whatnot. Anyone out there have personal experience with these things?

"Haha, loving the Daihatsu Diesel debate! If it's a low-mileage, well-maintained model with a good service history, I say it's worth a look. But be realistic about the reliability and resale value, don't get swept up in the hype."

"Honestly, I've had my fair share of Daihatsu diesel experiences and from what I've seen, they're not the most exciting thing on the road. Unless you're specifically looking for something rugged and reliable, I'd say a 'banger' might be a more accurate description. Anyone own one of these?"
