Default 2010/2011 fiesta lx wt turbo diesel

Hey guys,
Im looking at buying a used fiesta and wondering if anyone jas good/bad experiences with the lx turbo diesel.
There's not many around but a couple between $10-11.5k with 50-70000kms
Otherwise there is a 2011 zetec wt auto 70000kms for sale in my town, id rather go manual though.
There is also a 2012 fiesta lx wt manual with 55000kms.
Not sure what would be the best purchase.
Thanks

Can't get the diesels in auto, manual only.

Also avoid the auto at all costs in the petrol models WT.

I have never heard any horror stories from the Diesels, but not many were bought here. Might be best to look on UK forums for any issues.

A petrol manual Fiesta. Reliable, still great on fuel and you'll get a higher spec for less money.

The diesel is no doubt great, but probably not worth the bother.

Get a little more money and buy a new petrol one. You'll get 3 years warranty and it will have more features than the older models. Look after it and you'll get 10 years out of it.
Don't buy the auto.
