Is it worth paying more for the 110hp Renault Fluence?

Which Renault Fluence to buy - 90- or 110hp?

There is a 700 Euro difference in price, just wondering if it's worth it or not. On the face of it the vast bulk of Fluences are 90hp, just wondering is the 110hp model a better buy, even for resale later, as it will be a lot rarer. Also, two unconnected Renault dealers are pushing much harder on the 90hp version, which says to me that the 110hp is like a special order for them. They are almost dismissing it as an option, which is odd, or maybe they are looking after me!

Is there any servicing/maintenance differences between the two different engine types? One last thing, problems with DPF, apparently it's a problem if you only drive a diesel car on solely short journeys. Is it a major issue or storm in a teacup?

Thanks

Does the 2007 Ford Mondeo have a timing belt?

Hi, first may I congratulate you all on a great website, I only found it recently. I have a 2007 new type Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Zetec six-speed. It has covered 156,000km. My question is, does this car have a cam/timing belt? If yes when would it need replacing and what would be the approximate cost be?

Thank you
