Even a manual turbo petrol car seems to be a risky buy!

DPF clogging issue is blown out of proportion. In the rarest chance that your diesel particulate filter is clogged, a passive regen in the way of a highway drive will clear it up. Or an active regen by following the manufacturer instructions will clear the clog for you. It won't leave us stranded in the middle of nowhere.
The main issue with turbo petrol DCTs is its engine with high compression ratio. High compression engines are extremely sensitive to fuel quality and this directly affects how the injectors and fuel pump work. People who have bought BS6.2 and before should be wary of this sticker when refueling.

PS: I have both BS6.2 Diesel AT and 1.5 turbo petrol DSG. I consciously refuel only at pumps inside cities or towns.
